- Quick unedited cellphone video while filling up some tanks this weekend. After 2 and a half years my compressor is still working just as well as the 1st time I used it all you gotta do is KEEP IT COOL
Save money on gas! upside.app.link/BF47K If you haven’t heard of the getupside app you gotta put it on your phone now! You’re putting gas in your car anyway right!? Why not get some of your money back? I love this app for saving on gas. My code BF47K gets us both a 20¢/gal bonus: upside.app.link/BF47K getupside is a DC based startup that is growing fast!
for 10 years I welded the backpacks that carried those Scott tanks for FireFighters ! glad to see them still in use !!
that's awesome, I wish regulations would change to reflect their true lifespan
@@pootinhammer What is their true lifespan?
@timkourbo3196 I don't know, but I think it's safe to assume that they actually last quite a bit longer than what regulations state. It's just a shame that. After they reach a certain age, you can't even send them out to get hydro tested. Because the tester would be legally required to just disable the tank if it's too old. Even if it passes visual inspection and would probably pass the hydro test, they won't do it. If there's no corrosion and all your fibers are intact and they've been stored properly such as not indirect sunlight. Then they probably last a really long time, but I don't really know what the lifespan of the carbon fiber or fiberglass wrap is and how many pressure cycles It's made to withstand.
Really nice setup, i have had my YH for a year and a half and always kept it cool as possible, great hpa pumps in my experience, nice job on your hpa station!
Great idea with that check valve. yeah the best way to get maximum longevity out of one's tanks regardless of what they are made out of is to only compress the driest of dry air. Nice vid, just found your channel and will sub.
Wow. Nice video. Good to see these working a long while, as long as they are looked after and kept cool. I only use mine like 4 times a year. Just to fill .6L tank. Should last me a lifetime. 😂
Nice setup. Glad I watched until the end. Was wondering what the stands were made of and the answer didn't get me any closer to building one, but atleast now I know.
That was awesome and gave me some ideas when I watched it about 6 months ago. I'm using one of those fans that you use for drying wet carpets after water damage. And I'm running Amsoil compressor oil. My temp never gets above 110. This fan is like a freaking jet engine lol really keeps it cool.
Thanks again for the tips!
that's awesome, those fans are definitely beasts
Real good vid man, you made some good changes since you first started
Awesome set up, thank you very much for sharing.
This guy loves inventing, really clever, well done.
Excellent commentary!
Kick ass system Bro 😎 BOSS setup! Might wanna consider some whip line restraints in the worst case scenario if one of the Q.D’s were to fail. ✌🏼
Finaly someone who knows what they are talking about. The compressors are great to fill ur gun. But do get alot of abuse when filling bottles. But as you demonstrate here. Top worke man 👌
Thank you I've seen too many videos of people just running these things hot with the stupid little cotton filter that comes with the package and it makes me cringe because yeah it'll work for awhile but I feel like most people who are buying a compressor are buying it because they need a lot of air and if you're gonna run this thing for more than 5 minutes at a time You really have to think about the work it's doing and The harm it may be doing to your bottle if you're not keeping it cool and keeping the water out.
Cool setup 👍
Greetings, nice set up! Regarding the Ice, get some milk carton or empty pepsi bottles and fill them up with water and place them in your refrigerator, It will save you Time, Gas and $. That's what i do with mine to keep temperature down.. Thank you for taking your time on showing us your ideas. I am gonna need one of those cooling fans for my Yong Heng air compressor.
thanks for the suggestion, I would do that if I had the space in my freezer for it but I don't. I usually need alot of ice because I typically wait until I need to fill all 4 of my SCBA tanks and make a day of it. If I were running it more often I would make space in my freezer but I only really run this thing once per month max. 4 full tanks lasts me awhile.
Oh, here's one for all you geniuses out there. Find an old working refrigerator that works. Drill 3 holes in the side of it One for power cord. One for air intake. Run a tube for fresh air to outside. Then, finally, one for line to tank-gun being filled. Put compressor above the water container. Set refrigerator as low as possible with freezing water in tube. See if that keeps everything cool enough. Just a thought.
Great video
Wow.you got this down to a science . I feel exhausted from.seeing.this
pretty cool set up.i don't have the automatic shut off or the water separator been using it as came with royal purple compressor oil for about 8 months just going keep doing that till it gives out🤣
I'm just paranoid about using 18 year old tanks I want to be extra sure I'm filling them with dry air. it's very humid here in the summer so I get alot of water out of the trap.
I put coolant/antifreeze in my cooling water, better cooling and no corrosion. 5 gallon drum of distilled water and a bigger circulating pump. Never goes above 45 degrees on a 30 minute fill.
50/50 mix?
@@pootinhammer I put half a gallon of concentrated in 5 gallons of distilled. Seems to chug along nicely. Also stops bio from growing.
Mine seized on the crank so i machined it to fit a bearing and it runs way quieter and cooler now. I also added a countertop icecube maker that was modified into a chiller and its mint!
that's an awesome solution. how much had you used it before it seized?
@@pootinhammerhad it about a month or so but i used the wrong oil and its an aluminum piston arm on a hardened steel crank shaft so the heat gauled up and seized. I also added a solid state relay cuz the factory one was arcing alot
Awsome.setup.
Filtered tap water is the way to go ! Repurpose the water coming out
Awesome video. Thank you for taking the time to make it. I'm going to buy this compressor and found this video extremely helpful. One question I did have was on the oil/water separator. I noticed you had a hard stainless line connecting the two. What fittings did you use and where did you get the line? I was wondering what pipe thread size the 90 degree elbows were that you nor.? Also if the hard line was flared fitted or not.
I did not assemble the water trap, it was purchased in that configuration. the line is comparable to the line on the compressor itself
Nice set up and I learned a lot on this video!
One question: What happens when that baby gets to 88?
Asking for a friend.😝
Wow !! That’s a crazy amount of support and baby sitting on the air compressor. I’m looking for a way to recharge my cylinders for PCP. I have a fiber wrap cylinder but the local dive shop doesn’t want to fill it anymore. 🤷🏼♂️ So now I’m doing research for my own system..Your system is impressive, however I hope to find something a little more self-sustaining…
yeah it's alot of work keeping one of these cheap compressors in good shape but alot more expensive to have a true plug n play system. I wouldn't trust any of the other sub $500 compressors even if they claim to scrub all the water out and keep cool. none of them really have true water separators or decent cooling on their own. look into Alkin compressors if you've got the money for it.
Great setup. That's exactly the plan that I had come to when considering how to set my compressor up. Where did you get your high pressure water traps
ebay although the original listing is gone you will find similar things with a good keyword search
this is awesome , I would recommend using distilled water though for your cooling
great suggestion thanks
Great video!...excellent creativity and resourcefulness!... Could you give us links for 1). where you bought your fantastic water-trap setup? AND 2). your variable speed fan? Thank you!!
the fan is a 6" variable speed "hyper fan" brand, I don't have a link because I bought it at a hydroponic shop. as for the water trap heres the link for the one i purchased:
www.ebay.com/itm/114465953176
although i paid less than what its priced at now. you can probably shop around and find others just as good for less
@Aqua Boss
Thanks for the info. You really take care of your filling system. What maintenance needs to be done to the compressor? I mean oil change, o-rings etc. and how often you do it?
so far I haven't done any maintenance on it besides changing the oil about every 10 hours on the pump or whenever it looks dirty/ getting low. whatever comes first. I see no reason to risk taking it apart for changing seals unless I absolutely must. its stored in my cool basement and I keep it very cool during operation so hopefulling all the rubber is pretty well preserved.
This basically like brewing beer.
Why don't you pre-dry the air with a frozen tubing trap then into the intake?
Your tank carrier is genius! Only thing I would suggest is putting castors or wheels on the bottom segment, so you can roll it around to wherever you need it. So, sounds like you might recommend the Yong Heng compressor. I'm a brand new air gunner, so I'm in the market for a compressor.
I'd absolutely reccomend it. it takes work to make sure you're always treating it gently but if you do it will last you years. it's pretty well built compared to other budget options.
@@pootinhammer Can you speak a bit about your water traps? Are they identical? Who makes them? Did you plumb them together yourself, or did they come that way? Do you have to re-pack them? Sorry for the many questions, just trying to save some money. $2000 or $4100 is the price for what seems to be a good compressor. Trying to avoid that. Thanks.
@@daveyJ213 The water traps came already attached to each other and mounted to a small bracket The 1st stage is not serviceable and does not need to be opened nor should it be the 2nd stage contains a sleeve with molecular sieve and carbon in it to pull the very last bit of water vapor out of your air and that can be changed out whenever you want to although it's not really necessary unless you are compressing air intended for breathing then you would definitely want to replace the carbon every once in a while so it smells and tastes clean. As far as a brand name goes I can't really give you any information on that they are very generic looking and don't have any markings on them all it's on them all I can tell you is that I spent roughly $240 on them I think and they're probably an easy generic made in China find. I would post a link but the original listing where I purchase them is no longer up on eBay but if you search on eBay or Amazon I'm sure you will find the exact same thing being sold by lots of different sellers. some might be branded "Tuxing"
@@pootinhammer Thank you, sir. One last question and I'll let you be: I noticed you used a check valve between your tank and the compressor. In general, is that a good (essential) idea? Would you recommend that as a general modus operands? Much appreciated.
@@daveyJ213 I think it's pretty necessary for me now that I've started doing it although I may do without it before it just makes the process of filling large tanks a lot easier but you always have to make sure that the trap side of your line has its own bleed on it otherwise you'll be stuck a stuck unable to disconnect your hoses because you can't release the pressure in the line. If you don't plan on filling large tanks like I'm doing then it's not really necessary because most small paintball tanks and PCP guns if you're going to direct fill already have a check valve on them
Details on that check valve? Love your set up
if you search for 1/8" high pressure check valve or "one way valve" you'll find lots on ebay or Amazon. this is a random no name product
Nice video. Im fairly new to the whole PCP world & trying to keep it budgeted.
Got a couple of the Scott tanks with the same valve as yours. Could you tell me what adapter/gauge your using?
it's a no name unbranded piece I got on ebay, cost about 50 bucks and it's lasted for years. only thing I've had to replace are the o ring on the nipple itself. I replaced them with hard nylon rings instead of rubber
Where can I get that check valve
What about connecting the garden hose to the input of the cooling system and the output down the drain it would be constant temp through the fill?
yeah I've seen people do that. I just don't want to waste water
Run ya water thru a 25 foot copper tube coil in that water and you'll never get the head hot.
Around the 4;45 mark your mentioning about keeping the filters pressurized?? So to go from close to 0 lbs to 4000 lbs would allow water to get into the tank because the filters don't work until 1500 lbs or so?? Could you elaborate I'm not sure I follow what your saying there. Thanks for the video!
this is just an extra step I take for security. I have seen a few other mechanical moisture separators that have selective one way valves on them so that the air only flows through once they are pressurized. I do this with mine just for the extra peace of mind although I'm not sure how necessary it is.
logically though, I would say it matters just because of the fact that most water doesent condense out your air until you pressurize it, so starting your tank at zero and direct filling means that the first bit of condensation that's going to happen will happen in your tank if it's not being filled from an already pressurized pre-chamber.
if you have a 100% effective molecular sieve, this probably doesn't matter much but I still want to stay on the side of overly cautious.
What would your shutdown procedure be if you didn't have a check valve would you shut the tank off first
yes I would open the drain valve on the water trap just slightly so that I can close the tank without danger of over pressuring the line in the time it takes between closing the tank and opening the valve all the way
Great video👍...I just ordered this compressor and I think it has auto cut off,how did you re route wires if cut off stops working,or should i not use it so i can bleed air before it cuts off🤔?
I'm sure you can look it up and someone had probably posted a diagram, I did it so long ago I can't remember exactly what to do but I know it was simple. the retailer I bought it from told me how to do it when i told them my auto cutoff was broken
@@pootinhammer ok thanks👍..the one I ordered says you can manually shut off or use auto,figured I would use manual because I couldn’t release high and low air valves before turning off it turned off by auto🙂
Please post link to water separator system. Have a most awesome evening!
I don't have a link for it because I bought it way too long ago but if you look up HPA water separator I'm sure you'll find something that is basically the same
@@pootinhammer I found what appears to be identical on eBay, see attached link: tinyurl.com/y5nxsyjz Thank you and have a most awesome evening!
The o ring on my fill station valve that goes into the scba tank keeps on getting damaged and leaks. What kind of valve do you use?
I replaced my o ring with a hard nylon one. also just be careful to never rotate it while tightened because it rubs on the relief holes
Good setup and why using it for something it wasn’t designed to do hasn’t killed it
do you mean because I'm filling tanks and not direct filling airguns?
@@pootinhammer Yeah it really isnt meant to do that but hey its rockin it! I think because you are super careful to not let it get super hot
At 0.23 you show the hose attached to the the main compressor on the output assembly block. When you attach the hose should their be a small white washer with a small hole placed inside the female hole where the male thread fits into??? I notice there is a bag of spare parts and orings etc but not sure where the small white washers fit. ny help would be appreciated.
yes that's where it goes
@@pootinhammer Many thanks you are a star i could not decide if the white washer/ o-ring fitted between the hose and the high pressure output hole. I'm going to add a bigger pump i think or add a 2nd pump with a 3 way connector to increase water throughput and a 90l bin to reduce temp.
That dual stage water separator system is great! Do you have a link? Was it designed as a dual stage like that or did you piece it together yourself?
Found it on Amazon titled: 30Mpa High Pressure Air Filter External Water-Oil Separator Two Stage Filtration for Air Compressor Air Pump Scuba Diving
www.ebay.com/itm/114465953176 that's the one I purchased although I paid much less at the time. im sure it could be pieced together but I would not rely on myself to drill and tap holes to hold 4500 psi.
spraying the top of the YH would add water to the air intake.
if you're sloppy about it and get water on the intake. easy to avoid. I'm spraying the nut on top of the cylinder and the high pressure tube
can you provide the part number for the check valve used
no it was a random cheap part. literally just a male 1/8 foster with a small spring and ball inside. you'll find them easily on ebay or Amazon probably
Did you figure out what those tapped blind holes are on top of the water trap and 3 part filter tubes. I know they come with two screws that fit them, but unless they are for some kind of optional mounting, I've no clue. Also, can you explain why the water separator only works at higher pressure? I'm not really sure how it works.
the holes are mounting holes
@@pootinhammer Thanks. I just noticed I wrote "can't" when I meant "can". That made it sound odd or sarcastic.
I just realized I didn't fully answer your question, I know it's a year later but someone else might be wondering. the system needs pressure to effectively remove water because pressure is what causes the bulk of the water to condense in the first place.
That water pump looks quite a bit larger than the one that came with my compressor. Did that come with yours or did you purchase separately? Do you know the specs on it?
Good point I probably should have mentioned that because I bet it has quite an impact but I think it's either a 500 or 600 gallon per hour pump I don't remember but the one that comes with the unit is almost useless
I need the Check Valve Adapter. Have you a Link ?
I don't have a link because the listing I purchased is gone but they're easy to find if you search for 1/8 foster HPA check valves
Where do you get that check valve? Amazon? This is new to me and I want to get the right one
ebay, but I'm sure you'll find them many places. as long as it's the right size foster fitting you should be good. just look for " one way HPA valve/nipple" or something like that
Why not wrap the hot nut on top with cloth and keep it wet ?.
I've tried that and while it is effective, spraying it is slightly more effective and I don't leave it unattended while in use so I prefer the spray since I'm watching it anyway
Where did you find the inline check valves I've been looking and can't find one
they're all over ebay. one way high pressure HPA fitting/quick disconnect etc
What oil do you use? I'm going to do an experiment with my Yong Heng. No matter where you look people say to never use this oil or never use that oil. So I'm starting off using porter cable compressor oil, then going to full synthetic 10w30, then aw46, then going as heavy as 75w90 gear oil. Every month and a half gets a different oil.
I use AW 46
@@pootinhammer compressor oil and it survived 6 weeks. Just changed it to 10w40 I found in my basement, initial run nothing noticable. I'll post a video showing me opening and changing oil. So far so good
@@nicholasmarion8468 AW 46 is what the retailer recommended to me so that's why I've always used it. I like how clear it is so it's easy to notice it getting dirty in the tiny little window. I think the paperwork I got with mine also specifically reccomended "hydraulic fluid".
Gear oils are unsuitable for engine/compressor service. They have completely wrong additive packages. In addition 75W90 is not heavier than SAE50 motor oil. SAE oil numbers from 0 - 60 means that these are engine oils, while SAE 70 to mean gear oils.
Simply see how long it takes to pour SAE50 oil versus SAE75 and the fact that 75 is lighter/thinner is obvious. Putting gear oil into an engine or compressor is also not likely to be good news, judging from the examples I have seen.
Hello I just bought my self a yong hang compressor my explosive burst disc when of on me under 4000 psi any recommendation on how to make it better or so to say replace those weak burst discs
replacing burst disks is simple but you should probably have a torque wrench. I suppose it is possible that the disk was faulty but I would personally want to check and make sure that the gauge on your machine is accurate because it might have shown you under 4000 but if the disk blew I'd be wary of your gauge. my gauge lost accuracy quickly, I think the vibration killed it somehow, but I always go by the gauge on my tank and fill whip. not the machine. another reason the auto cutoff function is a bad feature for a pump like this.
@@pootinhammer do you think by putting 2 bust disk will make it better cus I do go by my tanks gauges not the compressor cus there of
@@modestogutierrez2904 no you should never try to defeat a safety feature like that, is the disk actually broken or was it under torqued and leaking from the threads?
@@pootinhammer what's the torque spec for the burst disc? i just kept tightening it until it stopped leaking. i'm guessing prob around 40-50 ft/lbs. i know i torqued it down until it wouldn't move anymore
@@schlomoshekelstein908 I don't know what the spec is I did the same thing I just don't want to recommend that to anyone else lol
Coolant word
Why not are you not drying the intake air to keep the entire system "dry". Sucking the intake air through molecular sieve or silica gel should remove a great deal of the humidity!
Where did you get thos black water tubes?
hydroponic shop.
I see an waaaaay overkill set up
Just immerse the pump into a cool water bucket filled with ice and run the pump 5 minutes before starting the compressor
Then monitor your compressor body temperature
I’m literally doing it as I speak
The temperature will never go higher than 47 degrees Celsius
I’m doing it in my garage
I fail to see how overkill is a bad thing when trying to maximize the lifespan of a 4500psi pump. if that works for you that's great but I get temps higher than that on the top cylinder and the fan helps keep it cool. also it takes awhile to fill three large bottles and I only have so much ice.
Where did you get that check valve? I want one!
@Supertrack238 just search for hpa one way valve and you'll find one. I got it on ebay but the exact listing I purchased no longer exists
@@pootinhammer Thank you. I subscribed to your channel.
Not going to lie, I want to do something very dumb with these compressors. I wan to use them for compressed natural gas. The active cooling seems to be the way to go. Would it struggle with large tanks at 300 psi, such as a propane tank with a liquid volume of around 25 gallons? How about a welding gas tank at 2200 psi? How long do you think it would take to fill something like that?
I don't know enough about the mechanics and material compositions to know how 8t would behave compressing a gas into liquid but 300 psi would be child's play for this, 2200 might be pushing it. depends on how the seals tolerate compressing a gas that will become liquid at the end of the stroke and I'd imagine the heat generated and the danger of escaped gas igniting from sparks in the motor make that pretty dangerous.
@@pootinhammer It would stay a gas, NG needs to be at -450 f to turn to a liquid, no amount of pressure will make it liquify at room temperature. As a pure gas would 2200 psi work well?
@Deveak I don't know, there are corrosion concerns and spark concerns, I wouldn't do it.
@@pootinhammer Yeah, Dieseling NG at 2200 PSI might not be fun for very long.
Hope all is well. It seems I can’t find much help troubleshooting my Yong heng. It had served me well for 2 years , but unfortunately it had failed me today. I have no idea where to start or what to replace. Both air chambers are holding pressure, but it just won’t go past 1500psi ( I usually fill my 100cu 4500 guppy tank , all the way to 4500. Never had a problem until today ) I do notice of a crank close the release valve (with a bit of force from a wrench) on the second chamber it will climb to 2000psi but if I hang tighten it will fall back to 1500psi and just float there running. I don’t know what to do. I can’t fill my tank anymore. Any help would be appreciated. I’m prepared to take apart, but I have no idea what to replace or look for , like I said.
sounds like a leak if the motor sounds good. did you start using a different power outlet? do you know how much other stuff is running on the same circuit? have you stopped it with pressure in the line to brush the joints and check for leaks?
@@pootinhammer om
I’m pretty sure it’s not a power issue as I have been charging the same way for about 2 years no problems. Yes I have sprayed all the joints down, I used fantastic, I didn’t have any windex.. (Still bubbly). The chambers are holding in the pressure, just won’t build up. When I turn it off that pressure is still in the chamber and spews a bit of water when released. I had it on for about 5 minutes, but I cant get above 2000 psi .I originally thought there was a problem in the chamber, but I think it’s the cooling fan next to it. There is some air shooting from that area, but like I said I sprayed around the green gasket and joints. Sprayed the whole thing down good. I can’t detect any leaks. I use a dedicated outlet that I have been using. The other I use for the water pump.I let the compressor run for about 7 minutes as I thought maybe the gauge was messed up like before , but my bottle is absolutely not charging. I’ve always filled to 4500psi on my 100cu tank
@@radman731 I plan on buying a new compressor whenever mine fails because I do not want to take it apart, too bad there aren't service centers for these. I bet your issue is fixable...unless the motor it worn out.
@@radman731 could it just be a piston problem or rings or seals that’s bad that’s able to pump up to that pressure. But beyond that it starts to bleed past?
@@AquaTech225 I did a full break down but ended stripping the very last fitting and wasn’t able to test it out. The piston head was dirty, so I cleaned and added a little silicone grease. 1st stage chamber fittings were really rusty and brown with corrosion. I saw some rust fragments in the cyclone chamber. Your also gonna pay attention and have to to be airing out your fill whip. Bottom line these things are going to collect allot of moisture. You are going to have to be performing complete breakdowns to maintain your Yong heng overtime. I mean look mine took 2 years to malfunction. Your going to be needing to swap out those fittings. I couldn’t find them either way, but at the same time I didn’t go hard to look for them. I believe if you try anything to sort of dry the air intake it’s not going to allow you to build up pressure for your needs. Other than that, I think it’s a great machine. It has served me well. $300 for 2 years. You may want to consider a warranty , they offer 4 years and I think it’s totally worth it. I had a nice 3 stage filtration system that worked well with the unit. But like I said these things collect allot of moisture you can experiment but I just think there is no way around it , aside from stripping it down over time and replacing parts. It’s really not that big of a deal, in my opinion. I was careful but that aluminum is unforgiving and you do want your fittings to be tight to prevent any leaks. I very well may purchase another. Im currently researching other options. I’m looking at the GX CS3 at the moment. But we will see. You can’t go wrong with a Yong heng, just know what you are getting into and be prepared to replace something after a good amount of usage. And keep in mind if you can find the part especially fittings you will need it’s gonna take a month to receive. I really miss it already, they are great machines. They build pressure pretty quickly and is a real work horse. Just need to filter it and like I said maintain it and prepare for the moisture. That’s all I got for ya.
What kind of oil do you use in the compressor?
AW46 hydraulic fluid
@@pootinhammer thanks alot😁
Is this for high pressure guns ?
yes for pcp air rifles and paintball tanks

filling bike/ car tires, dust blowers, the occasional air tool, airsoft/paintball guns, and PCP rifles

@@pootinhammer I bought the Check valve but it does not fit that comes with the compressor which i think is 8mm how did you get it to work?
@@johnvsbev I have different lines on my compressor. also the check valve is not attached to the compressor whip, its on the water trap whip. different tolerances all these pieces are different makes. I've run into that problem plenty of times I just have to remember which pieces fit what lol.
Do you believe that this compressor would have the same longevity if you had not added these refinements ? After all you are not really reviewing the original compressor in its original guise.
no I doubt it would have the same longevity if I weren't going to these lengths to keep it as cool as possible.
So you had to build and add a large, $200 twin-cylinder water trap, you need a cooler for cold water, the "pressure-select unit broke not long after [you] got this unit" so now you have no way of knowing the pressure...OK. Then: " I have no doubt that it traps all the water...(then) I get a little water out of the water trap on the other side, and I get a little water and oil out of this one too..." Sooooo, it "traps all the water" but you also get water out of two other places. Does this sentence make sense to you? Next: You had to add a high-speed fan, with ducting....you made an "upgrade" by adding a check-valve... got it. Nope.
Just curious, couldn't you have bought an American compressor that had at least some of these items as part of it? You buy a "cheap" compressor, then spend more than its cost on the outboard stuff...
then buy something else lol, this video is obviously for people considering one of these. in total this setup cost less than 600 bucks. how much for the next best thing with all those precautions built in? btw, the auto pressure cutoff has nothing to do with knowing what pressure I'm at. the gauges are all functional, it just doesent turn itself off automatically anymore which I don't want it to. when I said that I got water and oil out of the other traps if you were paying attention youd note that those traps are on the machine before it gets to the twin cylinder separator. get it?
Now I see why hardly anyone gets into pcps out of ragular working people you gotta have funds or this hobby will lead you into a bunch of frustrations like me pump broke air venturi wont fix delays im out of air, This is what kept me shootin my gamo breakbarrel sold that cuz it was not it, No one will get into airguns unless they really get out of thair way no one accedently one day goes ohh I want a pcp airgun an goes out an buy all that shit, Nope this is the shit that detters 90% of people from those pcps.
Why not just buy a nice compressor?
I spent $600 total for so far almost 3 years of service... when this breaks I'll probably consider a higher quality unit
Look at all that hastle man pcps are such a hastle I swear all this compressor pump shit I was worried about kept me away from them pcps lotta cost lotta hastle, My pump broke now I gotta research all this shit AHHHGGG damn pcp airguns man this hobby could get annoyin
yeah it's alot of work. pcps are not a simple hobby. you have to enjoy tinkering to enjoy pcp guns
Лучше бы потратил деньги на промышленный компрессор.
Your set up is unnecessarily too complicated to put in place
Looks expensive and time consuming
You don’t need all that to be in the safe and efficient Zone
Air flow in the exterior does cool down faster than cold water flowing in the compressor head
I hadn't thought about that. I wonder why so many cars use liquid cooling.
