Can you fill a paintball air tank with CO2?

Answer 1

You are the dumbest idiot i have ever seen you loser if you bought a paintball gun you should know how to plug in co2. If you don't have a paintball gun then why are you asking.

All you do is take the tank and screw in into the paintball gun till it wont screw in anymore ok P.S. u need to get a life

Answer 2

The parts that make up a carbon dioxide tank is designed differently to handle the pressures for carbon dioxide (and also because under pressure carbon dioxide turns into a liquid) and cannot be used for a high-pressure air or nitrogen tank.

Answer 3

For a variety of reasons, you wouldn't want to do this.

Paintball compressed air systems typically use 3,000 PSI. A CO2 tank can only hold about 1,800 PSI. Liquid CO2 replenishes the pressure in a CO2 tank, but air cannot do that. So you would get only a very few shots before the pressure was too low to propel a paintball (800 PSI or so).

Second, most air compressors can only compress to 200 PSI. That's not nearly enough to propel a paintball. So you couldn't even do it without very expensive special equipment ($5,000 and up). A CO2 refill station costs about $200.

Third, CO2 evaporates replenishing the pressure. Air can't do this, so the pressure would drop after each shot. To keep the pressure constant (and prevent the high pressure in the first few shots from causing the gun to explode), you'd need a special regulator.

Of course, you can have all these things if you buy a nitrogen or compressed air tank. These are made to handle 3,000 PSI or more and these include a regulator. But again, you cannot fill these with common compressors, several thousand PSI is needed.

Answer 4

Screw it in to the air source adapter, which is located on the bottom of the grips.

When it is screwed in all the way, it will push down the pin valve, releasing gas into the gun systems, allowing it to function.

Answer 5

your question doesnt tell me what is going on, you screw in the tank to fill the marker with co2 but if that is not happening then your tank may be empty, if the marker will not fire I can not help you without further information but try cleaning it out and oiling it, a lot of times that will fix it

Answer 6

Take your CO2 tank to a fill station and have it filled. Then look at your gun for the ASA (air source adaptor) which is underneath the grip, usually with a hose coming out of it. Screw the brass threads of the tank into the asa, and make sure it is tight. You will hear the CO2 enter the gun once you have turned it enough to open the valve. Your co2 is attached, and you can now play!

Answer 7

Twist the tank counterclockwise, and dry fire a few times to relive pressure.
