What PCP Airgun Tank Should I Buy?

Описание: PCP Fill & Fittings — the complete beginner’s guide. In this step-by-step walkthrough you’ll learn exactly how to set up and use your fill system (hand pump, compressor, or SCBA/CF tank), which fittings you actually need (Foster quick-connects vs. model-specific probes), and the safety habits that protect your rifle—and you—every single time.

What you’ll learn
• Air sources compared: hand pump vs. compact compressor vs. SCBA/CF tank—pros, cons, costs, and who each is best for.
• Fittings & adapters: Foster QD, fill probes, thread types, gauges, hoses, burst disks, and common leak points.
• Correct fill procedure: connect → crack the valve → fill slowly → close → bleed → disconnect without damaging O-rings.
• Moisture & maintenance: filters/desiccant, cool-downs, storage pressure, and O-ring care.
• Troubleshooting basics: leaks at the probe/O-ring, sticky gauges, slow fills, and diagnosing first-shot lows/regulator creep.

Step-by-step fill workflow (copy this)
1. Verify fittings (Foster vs. probe) and inspect O-rings.
2. Connect securely; close the bleed.
3. Open the valve slowly; monitor the gauge.
4. Stop at manufacturer max fill pressure.
5. Close the valve, bleed pressure, then disconnect.
6. Log fill pressure and shot count for consistency.

Safety checklist
• Wear eye protection; keep hands clear of moving hoses.
• Fill slowly to reduce heat and moisture.
• Never exceed rated pressures; respect burst disks.
• Keep filters dry; service compressors per the manual.
• Confirm local laws if using moderators/suppressors.
