Hand pump mod from Mike Sitz….
He attached a compressor to the inlet of his hand pump
with regulator set at 70psi and filled a Condor tank with
12 strokes from 0 psi to 2,800psi….I tried 70psi and could not
push the handle down once the pressure got to
2,000psi or so….I turned the regulator down to 40psi and
was at 2,800 in no time….Not sure of the long term effects
on the pump but I can tell ya it is a huge improvement over
2-300 strokes to to fill a tank….
This is my hill pump…I unscrewed the fitting from the bottom
of the moisture filter and screwed on a standard Quick Connect…
You can screw a male fitting quick connect directly into the elbow….Perfect fit….Doesn’t even matter if it leaks a little but you
can use teflon tape if ya want to..

Now that idea will probably force me to get a pump just in case. Thanks
You know I would really like to find a inexpensive , pump assembly only, with a very low output volume (that’s a cheap pump I think). Then with a little more work build a setup (electric) that could be used to fill the scuba tank.
I only say this because it sound like you could use the above idea to help with this idea.
I might be all wet but just an idea……………………………………… [/u]
