Here's a good deal on a CF tank with 2015 MFD
- Thread starter blackdiesel
- Start date
So 73.3 cc of water capacity. What does that equate to for actual cubic feet of air the tank can hold at 4500 psi?? Trying to gauge how big this thing is, and I am new to the whole tank game, but need one.

Watch this video. This was my reason for getting a SCBA tank when I got my first PCP.

The link I posted is for a 30 minute tank. I'm basing that on the 73.3 cc size listed on the tank and the size in the picture where he's holding it by hand.

It is a 30 minute tank. I asked and he responded. I am still struggling to find to find the correlation and math that equates a 73.3cc water capacity/volume and 4500 psi to actual Cubic Feet capacity? There must be formulas to calculate it somehow?

I just asked Scott and they informed me what each size equated to in CF. Contrary to what most companies seem to indicate, there are only a few CF tank makers. The largest and most common is Luxfer. Most companies buy their tanks from Luxfer or another maker and rebrand them. So the sizes are pretty much the same after the paintball size tanks. There will be 45, 65 and 87 CF. Some companies will stretch it and say their tanks are a little larger.

So I will get how many refills back to 3000 psi in my Hatsan 44AT Long, or to 2000 psi in my disco with a
Scott 60.
All I need is the adapter hose and connector(s) in addition to this tank?

This site gives a pretty close estimate. Of course a longer hose, or not using a micro-bore hose, or slowly opening the bleeder will waste air and take off the fills

You need a fill adapter to go from SCBA (CGA-347) to whatever your gun needs.
