I bought a 50 Texan LSS Carbon Fiber and a 98CF Great White tank.I'm finding myself shooting it more than expected .Trips to the dive shop getting old at only about 40 shots per fill.Do I get a portable 12v for the car and fill the Texans tank at the range? If so what one? I see alot on Amazon that look like the name brand ones.are they all the same Chinese junk?Or...One that can fill my tank at home?If so what one?And with either if these do I need a quality moisture filter?
I wouldn't even consider one of the 12v compressors for a big bore.https://hardairmagazine.com/reviews/doug-walls-experience-with-a-yong-heng-hpa-compressor/

But I can take my 12v DC compressor and run it from my car. Problem is that a lot of these big bore guns are around 3 shots for a 1000psi drop, that's a lot of pumping and the liquid cooled YH seems to dominate here. I'm going to have to send your YH cart to a couple people I know to build their own.
Where does one get the EC-300 SMK compressor?
Lets part beard and snot!A true tank filling compressor runs some 1500W min. Not for car use.A 12V gun filling compressor runs some 250-300W.Please look throug this : Look at fill times. Long as Dachshounds!So a 500cc CF bottle from 2500 to 3625psi is something like WAG 4½-6min.You shoot 3 shots in a minute and have to wait 5 min before the 12V compressor has cooled down.So a steady 11 minutes in between 3 shot groups, is that satisfactory for you?With a Texan you need bottle air and lots of it, how you do it is a whole different issue!A fine 120-150psi shop compressor will run you some $300 and an Altaros Booster will run you an additional $700.Now you're 100% self sufficient, and can shoot as long as your airbottle(s) lasts. I eat through at least a 9liter CF at 330bar giving me some 50shots + a 6,8liter CF bottle at 330bar giving me some 30 shots. (330bar~4875psi) to finish (out of regulation) 250bar~3625psi. And thats at every outing. Loads of curious folks what to try and try and try ;-)
