Q:

Glycerin filled guage recommendations…

I have a new Talondor, and I happen to take my spin loc tank into a shop to have filled (while I temporarily wait for a SCUBA tank to be certified) and this shop said my tank is off by as much as 500 PSI. I noticed this when I was filling this same tank by hand pump prior to selling the pump, but the shop confirmed it.

It is a new guage, and rather than sending back to Airforce for warranty, I thought I would just step up to a more accurate Glycerin filled gauge for my spin loc tank. Any recommendations as to who might have a easy to read glycerin tank gauge? Thank you in advance.

Good morning,

I replaced my Condor’s gauge,which was off over 400 psi, with the one below from McMaster.com. It is a class A rated gauge, accurate to +/-1% at midrange, and although it is larger than the original it has not been in the way. Easy to read, accurate and shiny, what more could you ask for! Just type the part number in McMasters search box and you’re off.

Any gauge recommendations from anyone out there that are not Glycerin filled? Looking for a nice, reliable, accurate gauge.

Good luck with that I looked last week for a glycerin filled mini gauge. The smallest I found was a 2″ gauge with 1/4″ npt. Luckily I wasn’t looking for one for my talon but for my 90ci tank. I had it filled at a paintbal range and the guy there said it wasn’t reading right either. Only indicated it had 3k in it. I think the old guy got me for a buck. I got the 2″ one and a 1/4″x1/8″ npt reducer and put on the tank today. I’ll be running to the paintball range and trying again. Oh I didn’t get any top offs on either pcp guns. So I’m in doubt I got a full 4500 charge.
