Wondering where to purchase a 4500 PSI Tank to fill my PCP--I see some on Flea Bay that need Re certified AKA Hydro testing --Like most people trying to save a $$
Thanx,

OP do you really need a 4500? ...
First of all, when they are tuned, most PCP's get their best strings from 26-2700 on down to ...

And there is the advantage. A 3ksi tank needs to be refilled when it hits 2.7 for that particular gun (or have to use two tanks one to bulk fill & one to top off). A mere 300psi delta. A 4.5ksi tank has a delta of 1.8ksi. SIX times more useable air. You really do get a lot more fills out of a higher pressure tank if you can find somewhere to fill it.
I didn't know you like to get wet.

That could only be true if your carbon fiber tank is the same size as a scuba tank.
These carbon fiber tanks are tiny little things, ranging in volume from 0.8 to 1.6 liters.
Scuba tanks aren't measured the same way. 80 cu. ft is 80 cu ft of compressed gas. From here the math gets pretty hairy but extrapolating from European 12 L scuba tanks, the volume of a US tank is 11.3 L
While you are correct about the pressure delta, size matters
I got mine filled at Pev's Paintball in Essex.
