A question of gas......

Alvin T. Grey

Guys, anyone bringing Propane up to HRTA on Saturday? I'd love to get the Umarex chronied with Propane before I went out an got a converter etc. It is only going to get colder in January (I'm cheap, I know) . But obviously Id want to know whether or not it stayed below the limit.
So can I grab a fill?:o

Why? The smell bother you that much?

That and the lack of lubricant...I'm just paranoid about damaging crap lol

Two or three drips of S-oil on the propane tank valve and you have lube going into the pistol.

Hmmm guess i should invest in a gas mask, propane and some silicone oil so...

I stopped noticing the smell after a couple of weeks of using it to tell ya the truth.

Either or, I suppose. I've only used ultra air so far. I figure that if it pushes it too close to the limit, then no matter how cold the day, I can't use propane.

A quick squirt of oil in the refill valve, and job done. I'd be more afraid of damaging the internals with the higher preassure, but the R-Type is all steel and rated for propane, so......

your welcome to a rip of my green gas alvin.,

im actualy working on a system for filtering propane and removing the smell from it, looks promising so far although the smell doesnt really bother me that much.,
