SCBA Air Tank Basics: Buying Used Fire Dept Tanks

How I found my air tanks and things you should look into BEFORE buying

[@jbvu2k]

Very thorough explaining. What brand are you using for Hose adapter for PCP filling with gauge and bleed valve?

[@ATL3xtra]

can you use a regular air compressor to fill these?
I am having a hard time getting mine to fill up properly

[@suburbanhomesteadoutfitter4135]

no, needs to go to 4500 psi

[@grounddove]

I got a tank just like yours. However, the fittings I got with it isn't the right match. I need a fitting that can be installed on the tank and able to fill my air rifle. Please advise what is

I found a lot from local FD. Is it worth scooping to resale if they are still valid ?

[@bradhall7907]

How many times can u refill the Hammer from one scuba tank ?

[@suburbanhomesteadoutfitter4135]

depends...from zero just a few maybe. A booster pump is required to get the most out f a tank. With a booster I can still use a tank below 2000psi

Fire fighters need to replace them after 5 years not 15.
