This breathing tank comes with a s410 but not sure if it works with the s410 or not or should I buy a new air tank 
Will this breathing tank be good enough to fill pcp air rifle
- Thread starter msc
- Start date
See the "Careful When Filling" post from a few days ago about using INAPPROPRIATE tanks!!! Your picture gives little information as to psi rating, date of manufacture, etc. Get a carbon fiber wrapped SCBA, 4500psi tank!
(Also see Joe Shneehagen incident or maybe accident)

Upon what do you base your response? Just curious. You MIGHT be giving a dangerously WRONG suggestion.

It’s got bisley shooting products label on it.
Also, it will either be 208bar or 300 bar. If 208 it can’t fit a 300bar din charging connector.
The AAs410 has a recommended 190bar fill.
The fact that it has breathing air written on it means nothing unless you actually intend to use it for breathing in which case it has more filters on the compressor to ensure contaminants has been removed.

The biggest issue I see how old is the tank, max psi rating should be stamped and is the gauge any good? Get it tested!

I'm not familiar with Bisley products or their labels. Personally, until I'd seen all relevant dates, stamps, working & test pressures & hydrostatic test record of that particular tank I wouldn't assume to confirm it's usable. That's just me.

The 2 links are available in a quick google search and shows some examples of these tanks . I do not own one myself ( just to clarify )
As others have suggested check the hydro date and the stamped information on the tank . If it were me I would remove the valve system and inspect the interior for any evidence of moisture as well . If you do not understand what everyone is suggesting Please take it to some one who is qualified and does lol .

It is not always a good idea to trust random strangers on the internet which I am sure you are aware of .
Be safe above all and I hope all is well for you .

Which is why in my first post I said that depending on its age it will need a test. The op lives in the uk, there is zero chance he would be able to have that bottle charged without a test certificate is zero and even less of a chance of getting it charged if it doesn’t have working pressure and test pressure stamped on it.
In my 35 years of experience with pressurised cylinders you for air breathing gas, I have never seen a cylinder carbon, aluminium or steel that has a working pressure of less than 3000psi
Agreed but removing the valve and having a peek inside is not an indication of the cylinders safety, the threads need to be tested with a “go no go” thread gauge. Regardless of how good a condition the cylinder appears to be, they do have a finite life span.on amazon in uk

I too have about 35 years of experience with scba tanks working in the firefighting equipment industry after having been a firefighter for a few years. Been a licensed hydrotester til about 3 years ago. THAT'S exactly why I get so concerned about people looking for a cheap way out or just too eager to have an easier way to fill guns. SAFETY FIRST! Convenient & cheaper is NOT always better or APPROPRIATE for our needs.

Gerry = ?????
Bb= ?????
I am confused how are any of us saying anything different to the O P . I thought it was clear enough get it tested period lol .
Oh and bye the way Gerry he could fill it his self with a cheap compressor at home and put his safety at risk . This would be how he could get it filled in the UK without it being inspected and of course we all have recommended him not to do this.

I’m sure you’re being truthful, but I can assure you that that is not ordinary. LP steel scuba tanks are as common as dirt and depending on their vintage will typically have a fill pressure between 2200 and 2600 psi. I’ve got some really old ones that are only rated to 1600 psi.
Here’s an example of a current production lp tank. 2400 psi rating with a 10% overfill, so 2640 psi if it is properly tested for the overfill.

Just get an appropriate tank. I know SCBA tanks are expensive but what are your life and limbs worth?
I cringe every time I see posts about using tanks made for other applications. HPA air is dangerous stuff when proper vessels, fittings and procedures are not used.
