Hey guys-

I just got an HPA tank and love the consistency of it...but I must be overlooking something. I run out of air every three games! I thought I had a leak - and sure enough I did - but even after I fixed that it I am filling up way too often.

Am I missing something? Is there a difference in the HPA or LPA out there? I was filling up Saturday and noticed the sign "low pressure air" on the fill station...

I need some help. Thanks!

lp= 450psi output pressure
hp= 800psi output pressure

approximate output pressures. may vary from company.

Oooo pain killers....don't get brain damage amage amage....

I actually talked w/ CT about it in another thread. There are ways to make an A5 efficient but it is just notoriously a gas hog.
