Title: Discovery Scuba Tank
Post by: kingdomofthieves on August 05, 2014, 04:00:50 PM
How many fills would I get from a tank like this

From 1100 psi to 2000?

What else would I need besides the tank as far as valves, adapters, etc.

With the hose/din assy I'd be ready to go then?
I'd also need a female quick disconnect, right?
Also gotta find out if anyone in my area can fill the tank

Thanks

Yes, a female qc. The din will also work on joeb tanks or airhog tanks, so you don't have to buy a new set up if you upgrade later.
21 fills with that tank.

You should get about 21 fills from a full(3000psi) 19cu ft tank.
Here's a link to Lloyd's calculator http://www.calc.sikes.us/2/index.php (http://www.calc.sikes.us/2/index.php)
you can also find it in the GTA library.At 15 shots a fill that get you about 315+ shots
a tank.I've thought of buying either a 19 or a 13 cu ft tank and slowly filling over a few weeks
with my hill pump then just top it when I have time, that way I could target shoot without
as long fill-up breaks.Check your local fire department if you can't find a paintball or dive shop
also check welding shops and were your local hospitals gets its gases...oxygen etc.

So if I ordered this tank would I want the "DIN/yoke combo" option for the valve? Would I need to buy a pressure gauge or should I be able to trust the gauge on my gun?

One of the guys I work with is a volunteer fire fighter. Gonna ask him tomorrow if they have HPA capabilities. My pastor is also a VFF and I think he mentioned that they have a HP compressor for their SCBA tanks. If so, do I need an adapter to allow them to fill a SCUBA?

Lots of questions, thanks for your knowledge and patience. Just trying to figure out where to go next with my Disco.

If you have access to a scba fill, I'd ditch the scuba idea and go right for a even smaller, higher capacity CF tank. Go for the din/k valve combo, if continuing.  They make an fitting called a firehouse adapter to do a scuba fill there.
