Q:

Measuring the remaining air in the Condor tank.

This may seem trivial to some, but I have been asked this question several times by various new members.

“How do you measure the remaining air in the Condor tank?”

Well this is how I do it and I am not sure if its the standard way or not. I refill off a scuba tank with the Air Force Scuba adapter. It’s simple, Hook up the tank for a refill. Crack the scuba tank just a little bit and the pressure gage will shoot up to the condor tank pressure very fast and stop. This is your remaining pressure inside the tank. Open the scuba valve more and the pressure will start to climb slowly up until you reach your desired final pressure. This should work with any scuba adapter since the one way valve is part of the tank and not in the scuba adapter.
I am not sure how you pump guys do it but I imagine its similar.
That’s it.

Same thing with the pump…It will be really easy to pump and the gauge needle will move up quick until you reach the remaining tank pressure…
