AirForceOne 6.8L Carbon Fibre PCP Filling Cylinder FAQs

What pressure does the cylinder hold?

The AirForceOne cylinder is rated to a working pressure of 300 bar, with a test pressure of 450 bar — making it suitable for the demands of filling most modern PCP air rifles.

How heavy is the cylinder?

The cylinder weighs approximately 3.9 kg (empty), significantly lighter than a comparable steel tank — making it much easier to transport and handle, especially for field use or shooting on the move.

Is the cylinder easy to connect to my airgun?

Yes. It features a standard M18 × 1.5 straight-thread valve and comes with a 750 mm hose terminated with a Foster quick-connect, compatible with most modern PCP rifles. The length of the hose gives flexibility when setting up your fill, reducing strain on fittings and hoses.

What makes carbon fibre better than a steel cylinder?

Carbon fibre provides a high strength-to-weight ratio — meaning the cylinder remains highly durable yet much lighter than steel. Additionally, carbon fibre resists corrosion and moisture-related degradation, ensuring longevity even with exposure to damp or salty environments.

Is the cylinder stable when filling?

Yes. It includes a pre-fitted stabilising “boot” to ensure secure placement during filling or storage, reducing the risk of tipping and making operation safer and more stable.

How many fills can the cylinder provide? (rough estimate)

While the exact number depends on your rifle’s reservoir size and fill pressure, a 6.8 L 300 bar cylinder will typically allow multiple fills before requiring a top-up — offering convenient flexibility for range days or field sessions.

Is this cylinder suitable for field use and transport?

Absolutely. Its lightweight carbon fibre body and manageable weight make it easy to carry and transport in a car boot or gun bag, while the durable construction and corrosion resistance ensure it remains reliable even when exposed to the elements.
