co2 tank

[maddox10]

A beetleweight. :shock:
I attempted an antweight FP setup, untill I reread the rules, and found out it was 7 bar limited.

But a Beetleweight, that's a real challenge. I think the lightest solenoid valve capable of FP I have is 200 grams. And that has a CV of a constipated shrews bowel.

ok thanks every one for the help and advice, and i think i will try to find the parts, and any way, if it is over weight, i could always add legs.... so can you remember the name of this 200 gram solonoid valve (so i can have a look) thanks!

i have found a lighter solonoid valve:

You've put the same link twice, you haven't put the link to the co2 tank.

Looks exactly like mine. So I guess the 1/8 BSP variant is usable.

Got one of those, but without a valve.

i have just found this tank:

considering this have a on/off valve built in, im guessing it would be lighter, more compact, and is less lightly to go wrong? thanks

this is my idea for the pnumatics set up, im relying on the thick piping before the solonoid valve to act as a buffer tank, and i think the CO2 tank comes with a pop of valve (i think thats what its called) but if not, i will add one in next to the dump valve, any sugestions for a pop of valve? thanks

If I see the picture, that thip piping is 15mm outside as best. Means 12mm inside.

length 300mm. Means volume 3,4 cc. Not much of a buffer.
