Q:

psi question

I read here that you guys will fill to a certain psi and then shoot a string and at the end of that shot string you are now at a lower psi. How are you determining what that new lower psi is? I use the guage on my fill adapter hose to monitor my fill psi but how do I use it to see how much is left in the tank after a shot string? Thanks.

Thank you John. That makes sense.

When you open the valve on your air supply tank, you first start pressurizing your supply hose and the adaptor. Since there is no initial resistance (no pressure) in the hose or adaptor, the needle on your gauge moves quickley from zero to the pressure (psi) that it takes to open or equalize the pressure in your talon tank. Your needle on the fill gauge will go from moving fast to moving slow when it is starting to fill the tank. The point at which it starts moving slow is the pressure in the AF tank.
Hope this helps,
John
