GX CS4 compressor
- Thread starter huntr
- Start date
Thanks I'm really happy so far and considering my GXcs-2 has 14 hrs on it and never misses a beat I think this will be a long lived unit

Based on your pictures, I just moved my temperature probe to the top of the cylinder. It slid right into the top slot on the head, just opposite the sensor screwed to the other side. I’m thinking that’s also a temperature sensor for the control board. It slid right in with a little friction, so it sits nice and snug and shouldn’t vibrate loose. Hopefully, my readings should be more accurate.

Has anyone used one of these compressors to top off a 74cu/ft tank from 3K psi to 4.5K psi? If you have please post the time to do it, and any comment on doing so.
Thanks
Thanks

mine was a first run and pumped from about 3300 to 4200 it took about 22minutes, filled my 580 cc avenger from 3000 to 4200 in 3minutes

Trying to figure out if I did anything wrong. I was filling up my CF tank for the first time and I hear a pop! It was the burst disk (I think anyway) Do you guys think I had a bad Burts Disk? Thanks for the help

Looks like it, did you get some spares with your compressor? I know on my Hill, they are a scheduled maintenance item to replace a regular intervals. I'm sure they get stressed over time and need to be replaced so they don't prematurely burst. Do you routinely fill to 300 BAR? Since it's rated to 400 BAR, I would think the Burst disks would be rated slightly higher, but, that is a lot of pressure and they may have gotten fatigued. I'd replace it and then run it to 400 BAR useing the Deadhead and see what happens. If all seems good, caulk it up and keep moving, if it bursts again, or the compressor doesn't seem to be running like it did before, I'd contact GX direct and see what they say.

Thats a good idea thanks! Yea this is only the 2nd time I use it. The 1st time I filled one of my guns and it did fine so IDK my just be a bad disk. Thet send a few more in a little bag Ill do what you said and see what happens Thanks again

If it blows another one, I'd bet they included the wrong burst disks and the ones they included are rated at a lower pressure. That or they installed the wrong one at the factory and they spares may be the right ones. If it blows another, something is definately wrong and I'd contact them.

Alright changed it out and ran it up twice and I seem to be back in business. Thanks for the help!

Good to hear! They probably put the wrong burst disk in during assembly. Hopefully, you won't have that problem again.

I filled my new 6.8 L CF tank with it. Man it’s going to be nice not having to go to the Scuba shop

I'm on the waiting list for the CS4 and received an email this morning from GX. They anticipate the CS4 being back in stock on May 1.

Yes it was filthy in there! I cleaned it up and put it back together and it seems to be working again.

how many run time hours are on your compressor ?
never mind, i see it was only your first or second fill.
strange how it got that way so fast !

Yes I was thinking the same thing. Most of it looked like grease so I turned the grease wheel thing-a-mudoodle lol
