Hatsan Scuba Tank with Carry Vest

The Hatsan scuba tank with vest is a pressure bottle for quickly filling PCP air rifles directly from a compressed air source, instead of using a hand pump stroke by stroke. The tank comes with a carry vest that spreads the weight across your shoulders when carrying it to and from the range or hunting ground – an important detail, as a full tank typically weighs several kilos.

Where a hand pump requires physical effort for every fill and a compressor is an expensive, permanent installation, a scuba tank offers a middle ground: fast filling without electricity, and a system you can take into the field. That makes it particularly relevant for PCP shooters who hunt or shoot at locations without access to a fixed compressor.

Fast filling, carry harness and compatibility

The tank's construction and included vest are designed to make field use practical:

• Fast transfer: The tank fills the PCP cylinder much faster than a hand pump, as the air is already compressed – relevant if you need to refill several times in a day.
• Carry vest included: Spreads the weight across your shoulders rather than your wrist, making the tank much easier to carry over longer distances than a loose bottle or bag.
• Standard fill valve: Compatible with common Hatsan fill kits and other PCP air rifles with a matching valve standard – not locked to one specific model.
• Built-in pressure gauge: Gives a constant overview of remaining pressure in the tank, so you can plan how many fills are left before it needs refilling.
• Robust material: Built to withstand repeated pressurisation and the strain of transport in the field.

Maintenance and safety

• Always have the tank refilled at an authorised dive centre or filling station – never fill beyond the tank's marked maximum pressure
• Keep an eye on the tank's pressure test (hydrostatic test) date – most composite and steel tanks must be re-approved at regular intervals
• Store the tank upright, cool and away from direct sunlight and heat sources
• Never tighten the valve beyond hand pressure with tools, and avoid knocks to the tank and valve during transport
