Need advise with my first airtank.

So after initial bumps I got to fill my new 3l airtank up to 250 bar ( 3625 psi , working presure 300 bar) but when I connect to my pcp's ( fx drs tac600 5.5 / hatsan velox) i can only fill them up to 210 bar. Need some insights from the experienced here before I try to put more pressure in the tank and ruin something pleasant.

Air Tank too big ?

Hi all

I bought a 3L air tank for my pcp rifle, to take along trips.

I need 250 bar, the tank working presure is 300 so thats good. Now I upon first try I did notice it took long time to get the initial 1000 psi, so I read some articles, and found out my gx cs3 pcp compressor ( witch is a good preforming one) , is advised not to fill larger then 1.5 L. I stopped charging , I di not want to ruin my pcp compressor nor anything else. My question to those who have experience with air tanks vs pcp compressor is , can i safely load the tank or should I find other solutions ?

My estep is a hobby a.d 90 % of the time i ride on nature paths and small dirtroads amongst the fields. And I never realy bothered the weird faces pedestrians and cyclists who'm I share those roads with. But its getting worse over time, people on racing bikes, on foot, on a ebikes.. they look at me as if I'm directly responsible for all that is wrong in their lives when I overpass them calm and gently. Well, not all of them, but plenty to rant about it. Last week an old hiker was even shaking his fist at me when i drove by. Yesterday a lady was blocking the street completely, doors wide open so no one could pass. Understanding she was carrying her grossiers inside I briefly squeaked my horn .. she got all mad, her daughter too.. if I were speeding or causing any form of danger I would more or less understand. Im very gentle and always let others know im not in a hurry. The kicker is that most of them dont even want to make way , they actually unsuccessfully try to block the complete road when they look behind and see me calmly staying behind them until I have the chance to pass them. The only reasons I can think of is or jealousy in not having as much fun , or the media and government safety campaigns got them scared of the concept. Im a full.grown man, 1,82 m tall 6

85 kg and in shape so they can't possibly be mistaking me for a 16 year old... but okay .. the rant is over and im not planning any changes with this hobby. Im sure most of you can relate.
