Hi.

That is very high pressure. Where do you have it filled?

Yes for other reasons than spar start air. The problem is getting them

filled. There are Scuba dealers in just about every large city and the fire

dept. will in some cases fill the SCBA tanks. The fittings were different

for the paintball tank (thread type) requiring the paintball dealer do the

refills.

I'm using my system for fresh air in the cockpit as well as spar start air.

What size paintball tanks are you using?  My local paintball field will fill 3000 and 4500 tanks for $5.00.  The 4500 tanks are pricey but thats a lot more air.  Is a 48ci 3000 psi tank sufficient?  



Thanks in advance.

Mike,

I'm not using a paintball tank. I'm using a 3200 psi Scuba pony tank. I had

a high pressure line installed on the Stage I from Scuba Pro then I attached

a pressure gauge in series with the pressure line that connects to the

Schrader valve with a strut pump coupler from Aircraft Tool Supply.

SCUBA tanks are inexpensive, reliable and easy to fill.  They also require VIPs and hydros.  A nice safety check for putting a high pressure tank in your plane.
