I don't have any pneumatic reservoir tanks, so I don't know how small they are, but I think you've only got a couple of vertical inches to work with, and (...)

While the large SuperSoaker squirtguns use small air-tanks to supplement the pressure in the water tank, the smaller ones combine the air and water in the same tank. This sounds like it will be even (...) (21 years ago, 1-Jul-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.technic)

| | | | | I'm thinking that if you mount the tank vertically, and use the top hose for air input - and then use the bottom hose for water - then you shouldn't have too much problem with back-flow - as long as you are careful not to overfill the tank (maybe (...)

Hi, Without trying it I think it will be hard to get a good jet of water because your hoses will be constricted on the way at each 'T' & port, and the end of your hose will be the same constriction or wider. I would think that you will need to (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic)

If you make sure that you don't fill more than 1/4 of your total air capacity with water, you might be able to blow the entire load with one charge. The downside is you'd need to (...)

For example, I recently bought Hagrid's Hut, and the cover photo shows (...) (21 years ago, 3-Jul-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.technic)
