I've also recently seen a video by Tom Gaylord on proper technique when charging a PCP using a handpump.  I don't remember exactly where, but it might have been on Pyramyd's website.

That's where I've seen it before, it was linked in some of the PCP pump pages.  Haven't checked for almost a year though so don't know if it's still in those locations.

This is an excellent source of information,,,thanks guys.   I do have a question that wasn't answered in this thread.  I did get tired of pumping by hand,,,,turns out I am shooting more than I anticipated - so I am wanting to buy a SCUBA tank.    My fill pressure is 3000,,,I've only seen one used tank since I've been looking and it only is rated at 3000.

Here is the question:  How much pressure rating should I be looking for?   Just anything over 3000?

I just bought a new fiberglass 88 cu ft 4500 psi tank with gauge, hose, and female Foster fitting from Steve at Pomona airguns, but Joe Brancato has used 4500 psi tanks and new fill adapter setups for those on tighter budgets.  Steve's a great guy and is local to me, so I went with his setup.  He also carries new carbon fiber tanks.
