What tank does everyone have use?

[Healthservices]

So I've been thinking of getting another tank and I know many of you have different types of tanks ranging from new or used fireman's tanks, DOT tanks so you can refill in US at many tank refilling locations. New CE tanks that you can get less expensively but are certified for other countries outside of the US and used older tanks that you fill yourself. What does everyone have? You can pick more than one type if you have multiple types. I like to see what the majority of the tanks out there are that this forum uses.

Just so you know C E certification is more stringent than DOT but most US fill places don't know or don't care. I got CE cheaper because I fill my own.

Got these four 147cc on auction sale 2-3 years ago (long time expired), I guess it costed me about $110-120 ?? I know for sure the tank bags price tag was more for each.
But I already had a 9 Liter Acecare (not DOT but CE) and needed a backup tank

personally use the topgun airguns tanks from joe , usa made, armor package is super convenient, they are the most expensive but i think its worth it

2 expired Airhog carbon fiber bottles, 88cf and guppy), and 1 in-date steel bulk 537cf tank, have my own compressor.

I use two 68cc ninja paintball tanks from my previous paintball days, I fill them with my vevor yong heng clone compressor.

I use a 74 cuft SCBA by Air Venturi purchased new.

Have my own compressor & 4 tanks (15, 30, 45 & 60 min. SCBA's), only the 60 min is still within serviceable dates.

Two Joe Brancato tanks, both in date specs. One has been tested and extended.

I've got Joe's Guppy tank. Very nice!

I recently purchased a Omega Patriot 75 cu. ft. with HP3 valve air cylinder from AOA. I use my Omega Turbo Charger compressor also purchased from AOA to fill it. I'm very happy with both!

Wow, so far I am pretty amazed not more people buy and use the fireman's air tanks. I thought they were the least expensive option if you owned your own compressor.

I bought a used tank 88cf with a gun off this board back in 2016. It still had a year left then. Now, it’s about 5 years past the date.

What do you fill with the Guppy? I'm new to all this and was looking for a small back pack tank to get a few fills. My gun has a 300cc tank and I fill it when it hits 2200 to 3600.

 

[FLbushman]

The Guppy is filled by a Tuxing compressor to 4200psi; that has worked very well for well more than a year. My Uragan 2 tank is 530cc, max fill pressure, 300 Bar. I also have a hand pump but only used on Prod. Pumping the Uragan or Guppy is just too much time and effort for me.

Maybe some of the SCBA users are, like me, too ashamed to admit in a public poll that they use an out of date SCBA tank. <---- The helmet is for extra protection from an exploding tank.

I have a Joe B Guppy built in 2013 as my main tank, and a big fireman's tank that's out of date by 5-6 years. I fill both myself.

If I could do it over I'd skip the guppy tank. The valve is cheap and wonky and has caused problems a few times for me. The plain old SCBA valve on the old tank is much better.

I have a hatsan 1.6L tank and have a gun with 300cc tank which I refill to 3600 psi. i was surprised how few fills up to 3600 psi you get out of a small tank like this. Wish I’d picked up a 3L or something a bit larger. Not sure what the volume is on the guppy.

I have an Air Venturi "Mini Wingman 100 cu in" and the Air Venturi "Wingman 74 cu ft".

The mini is mostly for when I tether the airgun to a tank, and for cleaning the stairs in the house. The bigger tank is more used for regular refills of my PCP rifle.

Do you think scuba tanks 10-15 years out of date would be safe
