Looking to get a large SCBA tank to fill. I live in Chester County PA and so far have not been able to find a location to fill tanks. Anybody out there live near here and know of a place?

Not sure if this helps but Dicks Sporting Goods in Downingtown used to fill paintball tanks. Im not sure if they still do or not or if they ever switched to HPA. Its been a long while since I've asked.

About 1.5 hrs. Not horrible. My thought is to get a couple filled then get a compressor for topping off.

USED TO BE most dive shops didn't do 4500psi fills. High pressure Scuba tanks are 3,200psi I believe. More dive shops are becoming 4500psi capable. Call around to verify. Make sure you mention 4500 & not just "High pressure". Check your local fire stations too IF your tanks are not 15 or more years old and have current hydrotesting cert.

Try to find a fire supply business, the people that sell to fire departments. If any are around you, and they will deal with individuals, they will be cheaper than any scuba/paintball place around by a lot. Of course your tank will have to be current on it's hydro. The fire supply places will also be your cheapest option of having a tank hydro'd. If you can't find any looking online, go to a fire station and ask them about the business they get their supplies from.

They outsource to a commercial place in York, but they will handle all of it in a week or two.
