Since they use compress air to fill car tires can they refill my paintball compress air tank? Is it cheaper then co2?

I doubt it, It all depends on the connection to get the air in. Also check the tank for your gun to see the psi rating for the cylinder. Gas stations air compressor usually only house about 125 psi, and your gun probably needs about 2000.

No, the airpumps at gas stations only pump air extracted from the atmosphere. Paintball guns require the gas carbon dioxide to operate properly carbon dioxide gas is the only non-toxic gas that has a high enough vapor pressure, or else you will not get enough pressure for it to fire. You would also damege the tanks carrying cappacity. Also the gas has to be delived at a much higher pressure then whats used to inflate tires.

Does you paintball gun have a shrader valve? Like on a bicycle or car tire.
If yes, then sure.
How much air is required in you gun's air tank. Gas station air tanks have somewhere between 80-180psi.
Is that enough/to much? You be the judge. Look on the Co2 cartrage to see how much psi it puts out.

This all depends on how much pressure you need and if your tank is compatible to there air nozzles. Most "paint ball" guns use compressed carbon dioxide which is higher in pressure than the average air compressor.

If you have a air tank they can fill your tank. Now if you use compressed air to shoot your paint balls than you will have no problem.So your paint ball gun uses comp/air rather than co2? If so it will work. If not then it wont work. the gas station wiil fill your air tank no problem.

I would assume so, though I would try it on a cheap tank first.

NO,.................You have to go to an oxygen supply company,.................................someone who sells welding gases. They have the proper equipment to refill your C02 tanks for paint ball. Thank You, Rob in PA.
