shropshire dan 467 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Hi all maybe a daft question . But filled my hw100 today and only filled to 170 bar not the normal 200 bar. Does this mean my tank is getting empty or could it be this hot weather causing it? Thanks in advance Quote Link to post
Jonjon79 13,340 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 That'll be the tank Dan. ...... It's only got 170bar left in it so, that's all it will pressurise the rifle to. If the hot weather was having an effect, it would make the air expand, adding a little pressure. 3 Quote Link to post

villaman 9,979 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Apparently he has had the dive bottle filled and every thing is OK now ,so I have read 1 Quote Link to post
Deker 3,453 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 I'm more than a little surprised its as low as 170 if the usual rifle fill is 200, that's an enormous drop if it made 200 on the last fill! 1 Quote Link to post
shropshire dan 467 Posted July 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Cheers lads. Bottle was low had it filled and rifle now sits at 200 no problem. 1 Quote Link to post
Metalman2 45 Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 There is a plug you can get from Best Fittings that will let you read the gauge on the cylinder to know how much air left 1 Quote Link to post

philpot 4,927 Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 You will need the kit Dan. One for the tank, one for the rifle filler and the plug. The kit allows you to quickly switch from one rifle fitting to another in seconds. Another advantage of the plug is that you can simply turn on the air flow while the plug is in place which will show you on the tank gauge what pressure you have in the tank. Here is a full kit https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/323332287239?chn=ps Phil Quote Link to post
