Filling tanks

[Bob1114]

Where in the north west can I fill my tank?! There seems to be a serious lack of places to fill HPA. Back in the day there used to be loads of places now I can't find a single paintball shop in my area. I've been looking at hand pumps (Benjamin from crosman) but even these seem hard to get in England. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

You can fill them up at diving shops

Cheers for the quick reply. Will they be able to get 3000psi?

Dive shops can, but you probably need to supply the adaptor

Fat bobs have recently brought in the hand pump (complete with the filter which is essential) but be prepared for plenty of exercise

Paintball sites are the ideal for fills

DiveLife scuba shop in Whitefield/Manchester does hpa top ups. Its £1.50 if you get their sticker on.

Fishing shops are usually a good place to look if not ten try a fire safety store ive found they have good prices

very helpful thanks!

Fishing shops? I've been a keen fisherman for years and have never had to use HPA for anything! Just wondering but what would a fisherman use it for?

 

[Tippmann Sam]

A lot of fishing shops sell diving equipment so I'm guessing it's for the air tanks etc?

Oh ok, I'm guessing you are near the coast? I've never seen a single piece of dive equipment in a fishing shop near me but I am hours from the nearest sea.
