I have their dual gauge valves on two of their tanks, it's the black one, the first option on your screenshot. I like them because they have a one-way fill valve, and the second gauge that lets me know the tank pressure I prefer this to dead heading a single gauge valve. I can slow fill with...

I tilted it while running to the front, like 1900colt posted in this forum, and it got out a lot of air. Later GX had me run the water pump and tilt it left and right 90 degrees as part of a troubleshooting procedure, but I didn't notice any more air purging, but that s was after I rotated my...

I fill mine to just above the recirculation outlet. That leaves a bit of air space at the fill cap. I can still see flow through the cap, no need for LEDs for me. These don't run that hot so I don't see a need for a lot of expansion room. Make sure you work the bubbles out of the system...

This is not an SSG solution, but you can still get Hill lightweight hammers, lighter hammer springs (SSS), lighter valve springs. That may help but if you want a lot of power you may not get it with the stock regulator. I looked at mine when I had a leak, and there is almost no plenum volume...

I use the Wheeler manual FAT wrench, but usually just for mounting scopes. It comes with a limited selection of bits, but it takes any standard bits and extensions. After using it I learned that I probably made things way tighter than they need to be. For PCPs I don't think you need to really...

I noticed the ASME dash matches on a few metrics I needed last week.

Yep, The O-rings Store. But I only buy the he sizes I need. They have a downloadable grid you can print, place an o-rings on, and use a phone app that will estimate the size. I use this as a double check of my measurements or the manufacturer part call out. If you to an get a schematic of...

I would troubleshoot why your bottle is moving. I would not use the barrel to stabilize a sloppy fitting bottle.

I have twice. Shipping seems high but the total to-you-door prices are competitive vs Amazon. I like have one point of contact sale vs the layers of Amazon, eBay, ali, etc. My last order was available in the US warehouse and I had it in about a week. My other order I had a partial shipment...

When it stalls at 1800 psi, is it continuing to pump, or is it shutting down? If it's still trying to pump, check for leaks, a ruptured burst disc, and clean the check valve. Those are the easiest things to check out.

On mine, after experiencing the early shut downs I pulled off the cover and took a bunch of temperatures on the piston bore, head, coolant fill cap, radiator, and motor housing during a 43 minute compressor run. I found out that these run very cool, the motor gets hotter than the cylinder. The...

I understand, and didn't think you meant to convey long runs on vehicle power. I just wanted to convey to other readers that they should not feel that way they need to run a complete duty cycle on vehicle power to test their units.

I hear this suggestion often and I think it can be helpful to troubleshoot for really bad power supply. But I don't think it's a good test to replicate longer run times like for filling cylinders, because I don't ever plan on idling my vehicle for 45 minutes to several hours to run the...

It actually looks like a pistol and not a stockless carbine. I might actually buy an FX now.
