I am buying a Tuxing 6.8L 4500PSI Carbon Fiber Tank, and am wanting to know if anyone has a good recommendation for a fill station. Any insight is greatly appreciated! Thank you.
Suggestions on a Fill Station for a Tuxing 6.8L 4500PSI Carbon Fiber Tank..
- Thread starter Milf Dots
- Start date
I messed around for a couple of years spending money and time on lesser products, experiencing considerable frustration along the way, and finally made the plunge for an Alkin 31. Wish I had done so to begin with. I would be way ahead.

Get a genuine Yong Heng. Don't over work it, keep it cool as possible, keep the oil clean. Have had mine now for 5 yrs. with no issues. For $250.00 shipped, just replace it!. Parts are readily available. Big difference in cost between it and an Alkin which do break

I started with that alpha 90... It worked good filling directly to the rifle or a small 100ci bottle... I even filled my 66cf tank but I knew it wasn't cut out for the job of filling a tank like that. After a couple of years I finally had to rebuild it. In the end I knew it wouldn't last so I bought the alkin 31. I fill 2 66cf tanks and a 88cf tank with it in minutes... So if your filling or down road plan on filling larger tanks...just buy a compressor ment to do so (you won't regret it) those cheap compressors are just that. Cheap..

Picture of the tank valve itself would get you more relevant suggestions on a fill adapter.

I too bought a Tuxing 6.8 tank and I'm putting a SCBA valve on it so I can fit a Stikman fill system on it. I have my own compressor.

I just put some Chinese valve on my new 9 L Acecare tank, that part dont do it much for me, well unless it start to leak CUZ i never use a plug on my tanks.
The valve seem OK quality, came with adapters for any of the 2 kinds of connection.
Still looking at fill kits, CUZ i might get one more of those.
I use to have 2 fill kits, but the old FX fill station i gave to my buddy as his was in pretty bad shape,,,,,, so is his tank valve on his 200 BAR bottle, will have to see if i can fix him up in some way.
I can not say if it work good ( tank or valve ) CUZ i have not filled the bottle yet. i am thinking maybe hitting my local M8 Viking airgunner up for that.

@orangeokie What's your experience been like with this tank so far?
@Milf Dots Did you ever get this tank setup and filled? If so, how’s it treating you? Which valve and fill station did you end up getting? I would think the fill station that you choose should depend upon which valve you buy or comes with your tank. I use a DIN300 fill fitting because that’s what’s on my tank valve.
