Is it a high pressure compressor? - i.e. will it pump to 250 bar? The fact that you mention that it has a reciever makes me think that it's just a low pressure 'shop air' type compressor. If so, it's a completely different machine - no use at all for filling diving cylinders. Matt  |

Hydrovanes are usually air-line style compressors giving about 8 to 10 bar. I suspect it would not help much filling a 232bar scuba tank. nigelH |
