Compressed air ONLY!!!

[Daztilley]

Here's what happens when you fill your rapid / air rifle with something that isnt compressed air ......

Jesus christ what a mess, I hope nobody was hurt trying that stupidity

I reckon even Kev G would be pushed to get that bugger up and running  lol ,but seriously though any one who fills with anything other than air is rolling the dice .

Well what make matters Worst... This Rapid owner Filled it with Oxygen!!!!!
There has been many debates about the authenticity of the Rapid!
I have explained, since Oxygen is a Powerful Oxidizer..
A lot of materials react differenly when exposed to it..
For instance Aluminum. It fairly inert in air..When heat it will melt...
But in Pure Oxygen.. I will burn and spark like Magnesium!!

I have a good friend with a  compressor that has said he is willing to fill my divers bottle up,...I`m just waiting to get the connector to fit across from compressor to divers bottle, He also uses his compressor to fill car tyres.

I should be ok to fill my Divers bottle with his compressor shouldn`t i guys.

Car tires.......
A normal shop compressor is good for maybe about 250 psi.....
A High Pressure Air compressor(HPA compressor)...4500psi....
My compressor is good for 4500 psi fills..Breathing quality Dry Air!!

Yes his compressor goes well over the 300 lbs well over the 4351.13 psi mark,....In fact well over that mark, It used to run a factory back in its day.
But yes he use`s it for spraying cars and pumping up car tyres.

But my question is i should be ok to fill my drivers bottle up Shouldn't it.

What?? I have never heard of an Industrial compressor going over maybe 1.5K psi...
Hate to See the Size of that beast....


Well since he is using it for paint spraying...I assume he using the very adequate water seperators.. a these pressures, a lot of moisture can be condense out.
Moisture is the tank Killer.....

Love the hamster,....yes well its the moisture i was worried about to be honest, and yes its a right beast of a compressor trust me i`ve seen it.....I`ll try get some pics soon if i can.

But when i have this cable made to pressure my divers bottle would i need a moisture trap between the lines.
