If I only want to pack 150-200 psi into this tank can I fill it with a home air compressor?

this tank is designed to hold up to 3000 psi, so cirtainly will hold 150psi inside.. the regulator is designed to output around 800psi by default, adjustable down to 500psi... so I'm not sure how it will behave with less than 200psi to work with... I'm also not sure what you want to do with it... it will NOT properly power a normal paintball gun if it's only 150-200psi internally.

I'm not sure you should call a local paintball shop to ask your question. I usally fill mine up at the park when I play. I don't see them using a air compressor I see them using a tank. Good luck!!!

probably, but it will be dirty air vs the clean air you receive from SCUBA shops. Why not just regulate the output down to 150-200 with a second regulator? There is also a "shoe box" sold that allows you to use a regular shop air compressor to completely fill a high pressure tank.

no, u cant. A home air compressor will not work. need HPA to fill it- paintball shops or scuba tanks

I would answer yes, kind of. The compressor pumps up and shuts off at 150psi, so it goes up above the 125psi that you need. But, once you start filling the tires and the pressure in the compressor tank drops it doesn't turn back on until it gets down to 120psi (I'm going off memory here). So, it should work well at first, but once you get close to the 125psi level you may have to let a little air out of the pressure relief valve to get the compressor to turn back on to completely top off the tire to 125psi. This compressor is light and easy to tote around, but if you can't plug it into an extension cord while you're airing up the tires it's probably going to be a pain going back and forth to the house to plug it in and let it charge the tank over and over. If you just need to put a few psi in the tires every now and then it would probably be fine though. Another option would be to get one of the portable air tanks that would be much larger than the tiny tank in the this compressor. Use this compressor to top off the larger portable air tank and carry it out to the RV.

No... You need a super air compressor to reach the pressure to fill fill these things.. I already looked into it... They start in the thousands of dollars... :( paintball fields invest in them though...

The tank fills to 200psi. As I use the air the compressor turns on to refill to 200psi. I have not watched to see what pressure it allows to get down to before refilling. So far I have only used it for hardwood floors. It Is a great compressor so far and very quiet.

No, even if the conpressor make the enough psi, the tank is way too small to feed the air tool consumption

According to the specifications shown, the tank is rated for 100 PSI, not 150. So no, in my opinion if you run higher air pressure in your compressor than 100, it would not be safe to couple-in this tank.

No, the holding tank should be able to hold a fixed pressure +/- a few PSI for hours. Make sure you are using a thread locker to seal your connections.

If you have the right fill adapter for the hose. It takes a lot of pumps to get to 2000psi though and if you need to go to 3000psi you need to weigh at least 200lbs. to compress it. It will take at least 15 pumps for every 100lbs of pressure you need in the tank.

I would say yes. I use it at 25 PSI and it works just fine. so if your compressor can do the 25 PSI consistently then you are fine. It all really depends what you are going to use it for and for how long.

This tank is a compressed air/HPA (high pressure air) tank and should only be used with compressed air.

Yes...there is a pressure regulator with pressure gauge on the compressor. Plus a connection for getting the full pressure from tank. You will love this handy compressor... Buy it without worry! Blessings, Roland Jackson

I guess you could use this compressor without a tank.. Like one of them tire pumps for emergencies... Depending on your aplication. Do you need volume and pressure at once? Or low gradual flow of air to build pressure.. I recommend a tank, even if it's just a 1 - 2 gallon tank..

No, you will need an air compressor, with pressure regulator, filter and moisture trap.

I would think not. It is not a high enough pressure compressor, imho, and you would need to constantly recharge it. Would take forever. Maybe one with a larger tank would do the trick.

I use a 2 gallon 110 vac compressor for home use only, for heavy or more continues use need a 100 gallon compressor.

You need access to an air compressor. They used to be common, at service stations, which also used to be common. Tire stores or auto repair businesses are likely possibilities. If you don't own a compressor, you might buy one, or try one of those 12-volt tire inflators, or ask neighbors if they have know of someone with a compressor. Once you have a source of compressed air, simply connect it to the tire-valve-looking thingy on the brass fitting attached to the tank, and fill to no more than than the maximum amount called for in the manual that came with the tank.

yes, but you may get just a couple of nails out before it won't work, not enough air tank space. need more tank mass for this.
