Hi Phil, is that a regulator on top of the tank?? Very interesting!! Looks like you have it set for 2500#?? Where did you purchase it?? Thanks and have a great day - Lee

Not a regulator, Lee, just a pressure gauge for the SCBA tank.  My SCBA tank has the exact one, which is why I'm pretending to be Phil :-).  The tanks come with the gauge and valve, everything from the brass coupler on is the filling whip/station, whatever you want to call it.  They're available multiple places, Joe Brancato, Mac1, PA, I'm sure there are more.  You can also cobble one together yourself if you're willing to hunt around.  Later.

I'm curious what kind of damage a set up like that does to the wallet if that's not too much to ask.

Depending on size and age, the tanks can run anywhere from $100 to over $500.  Fill whip is around $150, maybe up to $200 depending on where you get it.  This is the side of PCP's that scares a lot of people off, the rifle prices have come down, but getting them filled is still painful.  Of course, once you buy your first PCP and get it out of the way, the rest are easy :-).  And the more you have, the cheaper it is.  Later.

That could get scary in deed. I'm sure that once you've got that set up you're good to go though.
It sure looks like a nice way to go.
