As a total newbie to PCP air guns I am almost flying blind on building a air filling station even before I bought something to shoot. I know that is ass-backwards but...

Here is my list of items that I already have acquired and put together:

Hang Yeng 2 stage compressor

Ninja 68/4500 tank (damn they are priecy)

Water/oil separator (on order)

Water reservoir (5 gal) food grade

And finally on order Diana Bandit pistol.

I think I am in need to advice on an on/off valve to fill station.

Thanks in advance.

I just bought a Diana Bandit .22 and had it out the other day, I shot it tethered as I do most of my airguns, just be carful when you fill the Bandit with air, it doesn’t take much to hit 200 bar/ 2900 psi I was surprised 😲 but then I tetherd it so I could just keep shooting.

I’ve seen pics of all the back yard ranges from different folks, and I have still yet to find one as perfectly set up as Imolds. And, get this, when that golf course of a range gets, uhh, boring, he can shoot off his deck out to his lake, lol. One of these days I’m gonna pull the “squatters right” card and invite myself over to his pad, lol, and as long as there’s air and pellets, I’m staying!



Still eyeing that Regman, Imold! One of these days, I, too will own one....Oh, my birthdays coming up this month!

Well, first use seemed to go pretty well. Temp went to 71C Don't know if that is normal.

Now I have another question: I bought a water/oil separator off AliExpress. Not the expensive one, the $24 one. Looks to be made quite well.

Here is my question: Where do I install it? Do I install it at Compressor? Or do I install it just in front of tank? Or does it matter? Sorry, guess that is 3 questions.

Click to expand...

Attach it directly under the pistol grip....ha ha kidding you, man. You can mount it anywhere, and typically most folks mount filtration systems somewhere close to the compressor. Regardless, you want that thing in use somewhere between the compressor and what you’re filling. If it’s one of those hand held filter canisters that are like 4 or 5” in length, I’d just connect it at the end of your fill whip, with your fill probe connected on the downstream of the canister.
