Fill pressure for storage?

[TOM aka critter99]

Tims advice is based on REAL WORLD experience.

I guess the term long term is confusing....if it was truly long term storage I reduce to min. pressure.

I can't Quote Tim and Manny at the same time,,But in all instances,(And I know High Pressure's)leaving a gun full makes absolutely NO Sense to me,(But they're your own guns)so do what you prefer.Personally I'll take the Advise from someone's who spent his whole life with PCP's!  Thanks Tim,,I really appreciated the advise you gave me awhile back and they are words I live by.
I guess to each his own,(And everyone has their own preferences). Opinions really do Vary,and I think a lot of my Sumatra and Condor (and I was Lucky enough to get a 80fpe Condor right out of the box),,so I'm gonna take as Good a Care as I can of all my PCP's, and if that means storing them at 100 bar,then that's what I'm gonna do..


Thanks

i didn't mean to sound as though i was contradicting anyone. guess the variable being what is considered good life on seals etc. and long term storage. sorry, yea your right Tim. i guess i never really store my gun so to speak. and less pressure is definitely gonna be easier on the seals and internals.  and my situation is not ideal, but intended for info. i can say mine has went this long for the most part at full pressure with no failures. it may let go tomorrow and i'm more than willing to replace the valve assembly if need be. to me it's worth it to grab and go. if nothing else use my info as the other extreme for comparison sakes and i will let ya'll know when it leaks or fails. it's like a race bike to me. i bought it to run WO. and so far i have not been disappointed.  

my idea of storage is not picking it up for maybe 2 weeks. consider mine a long term experiment on what high pressure will yield. i reread my other posts and maybe i should have reworded it. Sorry.

Sorry I wasn't super clear -- I meant storage like I'm going to shoot it the next day.

The information about long term storage is awesome though.  Thanks to all!!

overnight well where ever the pressure is when you stopped shooting.....


just never leave it empty
