    15ci 4500psi HPA Tank covers

    I have a 15/45 tank I love to use with my EMF100, however it is a slippery bugger and until now I haven't had any luck with a simple tank cover. Thankfully McMaster-Carr has a solution:

    Chemical-Resistant Round Caps for 1-7/8" OD

    $12 for a pack of 5, and for me in the US Shipping was $10

    What it looks like on my tank.

    That's clever. I had a buddy of mine 3d print a slightly flexible bum bum cover for it that works well too. I'll try to find the link.

      Nice find! I been using old 13ci buttstocks with a lil Electric tape to fatten it up so it holds. This looks like a fantastic option! Looks like it was made for each other.

        I may have to try this. The old tennis ball trick works great still but this is sleek.

          Are you keeping all 5 or do want to make a few bucks back?

            I find beer bottle coozies work great on the small tanks. But these are a good option for that price.

              Who can punch holes in the center of these easy? I wanna buy some, and slip one over the reg to cover the top 1/3rd of the tank. Then one solid one on the bottom to cover the bottom.


              Nuclear Zombie, how tough are these to roll back? id like to show my hydro date as needed with out too much of a struggle.

                I only need two but I want to test them out a little more before I sell the rest.

                  That’s a great idea. They’re not too hard to roll back but I don’t know if they will stretch out if you do it often.

                    I really like the simple black rubber look of those. good price too.


                    I recently printed these covers that MuddyBloodyFactory made available to us over in the 3d printing section. I've been happy with them so far, just grippy enough to not slide around my jerseys. quite comfortable and there are several options available.

                      Really appreciate the review! And if anyone is brave enough they can hop on tinkercad and customize them more! lol

                      I use one of these on mine too, I tried the one with built-in 10 rd tube holders, but it was a bit bulky for me. I love the smaller one!
