Argon Gas Cylinder PSI

[Hoosier Daddy]

It's tough on small town Fire Departments to come up with that kind of money to keep their equipment up to date. If they re-hydro and it passes but they have to scrap it because it's 15 years old.
 Imagine the cost for just 10 bottles for a FD that works on a Volunteer basis with limited funds, asking for donations with a boot at a stoplight.... and people look the other way.
 Doubling the lifetime would certainly help them out as long as it is safe.

Yes I did see that site and the $300.00 cost, I have to keep reading and decide which tank to purchase. My Yong Heng can fill my LA Outlaw for now, it will just be a lot of trips from my shooting bench to the work shop and back.

A small CF or SCBA tank that I could fill with the Yong Heng  to say 4000 psi should give me 4 or 5 fills for the Outlaw.

Thanks for the info.

Wade.... not to be the neigh sayer here but...
It's one thing to fill a gun to 3k, or even 4.5k for that matter, with a YH. It's done in a matter of minutes. It's a completely different beast to fill even a small (30 minute) scba tank to 4k or 4.5k. You're now talking about 20 minutes or so of that little compressor pushing those kinds of pressures. If it were me, I think I would stick to filling guns and stop at the paintball field or FD to have my tank filled for a road trip.

Good advice Avator,
I was worried about running the YH for an extended period of time. I will forget about trying to fill a tank myself for the time being. I will still check on getting a small tank and look for a fill station in my area. I live in the hills of Northern Pa. it will probably take at least an hour drive in any direction to find a fill station.

Thanks

FWIW,
There is 5 and 10 minute survival CF tanks also, (unknown CF size), I have seen several for sale, kinda expensive, IMHO, they might be a help to you,
I have been looking at them, as a small tethered tank for sniping the starlings etc, from my starling shooting hole, inside the house,
instead of using the bigger CF tanks.

Don,

This is interesting.  Do you have any links?  Do they use the CGA 347 fitting?  If the price is reasonable I'd rather tether off this versus my 30 minute cylinder. 

Thanks,

Let me dig up some info on them,
I know the SCUBA diver also have, what they call "PONY" tanks,
that provide a few extra minutes of air for an emergency etc.

Here is one type of the PONY tanks,
