the auto shut off, auto shut off at about 4100 psi. do i need to replace something for it to work again?
it filled my 9l tank from empty in about 5 different sessions.

well got my tank filled with yong heng air compressor but???
- Thread starter patp
- Start date
I think filling to 4100 PSI will put a lot less strain on your compressor - I have seen posts by people who don't even try to fill to the full 4500 PSI for fear of breaking their Chinese compressor - apparently they could hear the compressor start to struggle

Mine does the same thing. Probably 4250. That's enough. I was thinking of replacing the gauge with an adjustable pressure one but I decided to keep the 40 odd bucks that the new gauge would have set me back. If you must fill to 4500, just do what airgunfans suggests and disconnect the wire that runs from the gauge to the motor. It sounds like you have been trying to restart it after it cuts out. If you try to start the motor while there is pressure in the line, you will kill the motor in no time.

If its like mine, you turn the red dial on the Compressor guage clockwise (carfully, its delicate) to increase the psi it shuts off at. Mine needs to be about 4800 for both my tanks guages read 4500. Do a little at a time to avoid blowing the blowout disk.

4500 would be nice, but most all compressors out there, will start to bitch after 4000. My Yong Heng does better than my Carette. Carette did ok For the first 6 or 7 fills, then it got to where after reaching 4000/4100, it would take another 30/45 minutes to reach 4500. I'd like to have that extra bit of air, but it ain't worth the strain on the compressor. Anybody have a compressor that goes to 4500 with NO problems? What kind, link please.

My YH fills to 4500 psi with no issues (so far). I've run it to that pressure about 10-12 times stopping up a 45 minute Acecare CF bottle. That's maybe only 3-4 hours of total run time, however. It's the very basic model, but I've added the water cyclone separator between the first and second stages like the other models have.

My YH fills to 4500 with ease. I had to adjust my auto shut off gauge as well to reach 4500. Use full synthetic ISO 100 compressor oil to avoid the sulfur stink in your tank that you get using hydraulic oil.

To you all who say that your compressor complains at 4000+ psi, then there is definately something wrong with your compressor. I have been using mine for 6 months now and the noise doesn't change right up to 4500 and I do mine manually and watch it like a hawk. I run it for 20 minute intervals and change the oil every 5 hours. Seriously, it should never struggle. Just a YH I bought on ebay.

My YH has no problem in getting to 4500 psi but I only fill my rifle directly so the time for the compressor to work under that pressure is rather short. Not any sign of struggling observed. In fact I have the feeling that it can easily go higher but I haven't tried it. it's a genuine YH and full-feature model with auto shut off and dual water "cyclone" separator. I brought it directly from the factory in China.

My Carette tops off a 3 liter tank from 3k to 4.5K each time without any difficulty. From what you are describing it appears that you have a leak in your system, most likely in a hose or connector. The sound of the compressor does change pitch slightly when the pressure exceeds 4K psi but in no way does mine sound labored.

My burst discs let go at 4200, so can't go higher anyway. I think they are aluminum, but could be stainless....they measure .009" thick. I was thinking about punching some out from .012" aluminum shim stock that I have.......maybe not.... would need to make a punch first. 4200 is enough pressure for what I need now, although some guns I like hold/need more pressure.

I want a compressor but I refuse to be a Beta tester again or get a dud. If cash we're on trees, Bauer Jr. Gas operated. Until then.
I also would be happy w/a 6K rented cylinder. I live near Prax Air, another huge gas company & welding shops. I know I'd need a good regulator but it seems this area is afraid of being sued by a dead morons family or Federally 6K tanks are frowned upon as, well, you know. I can't even find a firestation where the chief will allow tank fills of current hydro tested WITH a donation. WTH is going on? I read oh I bring the guys doughnuts & coffee & they always fill my tank. The dive shop owner has lost his mind. I bought 20 4500 fills for $180.00 got about 7 free from a cool employee. Owner says, who sold you that card as 4500psi fills are $12.00, not $7.00 each. I said your wife sold it to me. Oh, she must of made a mistake. Wait a minute. They fill 0 to 3K for $7, but only 2500ps worthi from 2K to.4500psi for more. I'll be buying a gas compressor one day. Until then, pump & a tank but not shooting as much as if air were free or something crazy like that. Free air. LOL.

I have the simple Davv su30 compressor. $212 (with an ebay coupon) shipped from Shanghai in 5 days. Runs flawless so far. I ran it for 15 to 20 mins with full synth IR full duty compressor oil under no load and changed out the oil. No metal or dirt so that was a pleasant surprise. I dont have a tank and just fill guns direct but would have no concern about using this to top off a tank. I am switch over to Royal Purple on the next oil change.

If you have the adjustable auto shutoff knob/pointer on the gauge, just turn it up a little more. Those adjustable shutoff gauges are not all that accurate. Mine shuts off about 200psi lower than whatever mark the red pointer is set to. If I want 4500psi, I set it to 4700psi.

Ya know 2 burst disk will fit in the YH at the same time... Thats how I run mine to 4500ish psi. My Yong Heng has almost a year under her belt with many 4500PSI pulls. I used to take her to 4800PSI no problems but lost the second stage piston and had to rebuild her.
