Removing bust disk.
Can I put a gage in the same spot if I remove the burst disk ? And what about saftey ? I mean I fill it to 2500 and my scuba tank is on ever filled 2 3000. So over filling is impossable.
and for filling ill just split the hole to a y so I can have a fill nippe and gague. Any thoughts

I got it, had a busy day at work Friday so I didn’t get it in the post. I’ll pack it up this weekend and get it in the mail Monday. 😉
Synopsys I sent it. And I did post a wtb add so ill just kick back and wait a wile un tell someone replys
Im peitty thick skins so no worrys. nd im glade u can u can take my crap to. Amd I nevee thought about fateag in my valve by runing a hard line off the tank. Ill send u my address pm. Iv bougt tons of stuff off this site and so far good resLts like rhe ..25 I got now it time to knock the shir out of thing. Hahahaaha more power yess.
Sure paint ballers use lower pressure but they still blow fingers off when the shit hits the fan…
120 psi can break the skin if you hold it tight, your looking at 20x that at 2400psi…
The gf is meaner… 😯 Ouch, I was just kidding… Oh and i’m glad you just ignored me anyways… 😆
I’d save up for the ETac and use your pellet holder for the time being.
The thing with the burst disk hole is that it’s so small you may have to run a thin wall hollow screw and if you happen to hit it on anything it could break pretty easy… And if you add a ‘Y’ and fill it the stresses from filling (attaching the fitting) could do it in as well.
Something tells me the guy who did the ETac has done the maths and it’s not going to break that easy. I’m not sure you want to mess with the reg, it’s good, but it takes time and tinkering to get it right. Also if it get any dirt in it you have to take it apart and clean it, more for targets than hunting…
Surfing on your phone? Shit, I have a hard enough time on a full size computer screen… 😯
Stay safe Gear, oh and you may want to put a “want to buy” ad in the for sale section for a Etac. Someone may have an extra or a used one they no longer need it and it will be cheaper than new…
Tell you what, shoot me your address in a PM and i’ll send you something you can either sell or trade for a ETac! 😉
Paintball guns do have a hpa line but it only runs at 850 psi post regulator or its the gas pressure of the C02 which is also 850psi. I am a Mechanical engineer and i have done alot of testing with pressure vessells. Burst discs are there as a safety device to blow if overfill but also there incase you leave the bottle by accident in direct sunlight. If the unthinkable happens it will not only blow your face through your ass but the shrapnel can also kill out too 10m depending on the failure pressure and material of the tank. In the UK we ae supposed to get the cyclinders on our guns tested every 3 years or so and they would instantly fail a cylinder with no burst disc and for good reason. If you can guarantee not to overfill and make sure that you are not leaving it in a vunerable place the fine remove the burst disc but is there much point.
Sorry for the spelling im typing from a phone and I just dont care to go back and.fix it. And trust me ill have to show pics lol. And long as u post them to becasuse 2500 not really worryed and what happend when any air gun fails befor the bursk disk. hair line cracks any thing. not to start any thing else but dont paintball guns have hpa hoses? And chances are the same that your tank can blow and chances are an e tac can go . But no one care lol at least I dont I kinda get a rush holding my talon tank up to my ear( 3000 psi ) bomb. Lol. Oh well and y count I have a holder that holds the perfect amount. No more pellet no more shots lol. Thanks all for the info . And my gfs meaner lol peace out got go get my drink. Lol
Better safe than sorry but you still want to remove the disk?
Your eyesight, use of your face, use of your limbs isn’t worth more than $100 to you?! 😕 🙄
Why not just count your shots? A leak in a high pressure tank will make it impossible to hunt, oh wait, forget it, i’m wasting my time, you can’t even spell and here i’m thinking you can count… 🙄
Make sure you post pictures of your face after that fucker lets go and blows your cheek through your ass, I like gore… 😀
That’s brutal… I kind like it, but it’s brutal! 😆 😆 😆

Lol would be a shame. But same with etac. And trust me I want one its just I might as well get the reg at the same. And thats a lot of money . Lol. Most
Things I can make but those thing are way tuff.to much info needed. But a gague a fill nip would be cool and it would be cheap fot me to do it my way. And i feel it would ne safe. sure it may leak but so could the burst disk and at least if I change it to a gage and it leaks ill know so I can compamsate uf my tanks low. Vs not having it and not knowing then my hunting trip was a real wast. Better safe then sorry . Just my view. Any more ideas? I wana here people thinking lol.
a loose hose for hunting purposes might not be best.
Sweet glade u understand and I wish they would socall over fill my tanks but thay wont. And I dont feel a line on the other side of a gun will bother me . And if it blows id rather maybe be wipped ( rember lines on the other side) then a tank blow. Lol ill take my chances and hell better yet ill use hard lines and those have the same chance of blowing and hell if im only filling to 2500 so if catastrofic failer happens thrn the birsk disk is use less Lol. Trust me I know thr dangers. I just want to bounce of ideas so thanks got any more.
Scuba tanks are proofed to 5/3rd of their recommended fill pressure.
Personally, I have filled CO2 bottles rated at 1800 psi to 3000 psi, for no other reason than the burst disk was rated at 3K. I never had a problem.
Of course, that does not mean you will not blow both your balls off if you try it. (Disclaimer…don’t do what I do, don’t even do what I say!)
My scuba shop routinely fills my 120 cf steel scuba tank, rated at 3250 psi, to 4000 psi and have offered to fill it to 4500 psi. It has a burst disk of 5K. Now, considering that the scuba tank makers do not want to get sued, you can expect there to be a safety margin between their burst disk strength and the psi explosion threshold of the steel in the tank.
Safety margins are for our protection. Whether we choose to use them depends on how much risk we are prepared to take, as individuals. No one should ever advise someone else to take such risks. It’s got to be a personal decision based on individual knowledge and experience.
Nothing you’ve said alarms me. While I personally wouldn’t want a high pressure hose hanging off my air bottle, that doesn’t mean you can’t feel differently, especially if you see a payback. I think the ETac is more compact and less cumbersome than putting a “Y” in your system. But to each his own.
One of the great things about this forum is the freedom we have to express ourselves and our ideas. Some of these ideas are indeed stupid, some deadly, some genius…The forum members will generally jump in and say something if someone is way off track.
Have fun.

PS: Note that I never said anything about removing the burst disk. It can fit somewhere in that long system you want. Nothing you said alarmed me, because I’m not the one holding the contraption. Be safe.
Well when my bottle is tighten I have more then enough room to put on a bugie 3000 psi cord then put that to a y witch will mout under the scope where the gague and fill nipple will go and it will cost me half the price of an e tac and will work just as good if not better. And as for removing the tank my gun is already set up so I can just remove the set screws to pull the tank . My only worrys are saftey but I cant think of any and im quite sure af tanks are pressure tested to like 6k and as far as im conserned ill never even breke 3200 . . Not trying to be an ass lol juat a releast lol
The bottle collar on the AF frame will not allow you to screw the air bottle back onto the rifle if a gauge is fitted. You would need an extension that puts the threaded bottle fitting back an inch or two, as previously indicated with the ETaC adapter suggestion.
That is a safe and cost effective approach to getting the results you desire.
Check with Marmot_Militia, he makes the ETac device.
