Any paintball shop will do it for you too, but it is easier to just buy the tank with it installed. It will come out to be the same price as if you bought the parts and did it yourself.
I would not try to do it yourself as described in the link in the previous post. There are several missing or wrong steps there and unless you have all the tools it will end up costing you less to just buy a new bottle.
-Using red loctite is not sufficient, you need to torque the bottle above a minimum value that is not given in that post
-The poster says to use a padded vise, but then puts the bottle in a regular vise in the pictures! You can't get a good enough grip in a regular vise to torque it to the proper value without wrecking the bottle. You need to use a strap wrench or a vise designed for cylinders. If you tighten the vise on the bottle too much and bend it or if you don't tighten the vise enough and the bottle slips in it and gets scratched, most shops will refuse to fill it.
-Don't use red loctite to seal the antisiphon components to the tank valve. Use a proper thread sealant or teflon tape.
thanks guys, i think i might just fork out a couple more bucks and just get a nitro tank, only thing is oak flats doesnt fill air :(
