Question about air tanks

[semmelbroesel]

Hi,
there was a sale going on paintball online, and I got a 3000psi air tank for half price!
I have played with air vs co2 once when a friend let me have his for a few games, and I was immediately hooked, and when I found the sale I jumped to it.

But I have no clue about how to use the tank :-)

OK, I know how to attach it to the marker, but where does it get charged? The little valve?

It's a 3000psi tank, and I read somewhere for a big game about them having 4500psi compressors - does that automatically mean that can ALSO fill 3000psi tanks?

I had the presence of mind to buy the correct accessories (covers for both valves), so that at least is an issue I don't have to worry about :-)

Thanks for your answers!

Fill nipple off the reg is where you would hook it up to fill it.
Only use the 3k station for 3k tanks and 4500 for 4500 tanks.
Hydro when necessary.

Thanks for clearing that up!

Now I'm in trouble if Splat Tag doesn't have 3000psi fillers, too...

splat tag always has 3000psi. they only have 4500psi for special events

Air tanks are great to use, I love mine.

However never put oil in the fill nipple.

Heres a article on mcarterbrown forums to read regarding oil on the fill nipple....
