Yong Heng PCP Air Rifle Compressor
Posted: Mon Jun 25, 2018 7:56 pm
G'day all,
For the air heads among us... I recently bought a Yong Heng Air Rifle Compressor from C@&%a on Ebay. I really didn't want to, but I've run out of options.
I bought a Ninja paintball bottle with the idea of using it to quick fill my Benjamin Marauder. I've been in the health wars for a while now and haven't been using the Benji because it takes too much effort to fill. I drove about 5 hours round trip to the 'nearest' paintball place to fill it to 4500psi. Didn't check it until I got home to find it was only sitting on about 3500 psi. I tried to fill the Benji from 2000 psi but it didn't budge. After speaking to the seller we decided that the Benji and bottle needed to be filled to see if/where the problem is.
That was earlier in the year... I had been deliberating getting the Yong Heng, but ended up doing research via Youtube as these pumps have been available for a while now. Overall the reviews have been reasonably positive... So I bought one...
I'm still having problems with the paintball bottle with it outputting waaaayyy under the 3000psi claimed, but according to the seller (hopefully) this will be an easy(ish) fix.
Back to the compressor... overall build quality I think is pretty good. Simple to partially assemble thanks to youtube vids again...the manual it comes with while readable is pretty much useless. It's simple to operate, but a bit on the loud side. Not 747 loud, but earplugs to be on the safe side.
It filled my Benji from 2000 - 3000 in under a minute. It filled the Ninja bottle from empty to 4500 in about 10 minutes.
Cons: The moisture trap... a big 'ole tampon looking thing in the hose fitting. It is advertised to filter oil and moisture, but I'm not convinced about it's moisture trapping ability. However, quite a few people are buying a separate in-line filter and modifying the filter medium. Google - "PCP oil/water separator filter 30 mpa 4500psi 310bar"
This will be my next purchase (pending funding approval
) at which point I can strip Benji down and check for moisture and return it to working pressure in no time at all. 
So in a nutshell... so far so good. If you are interested let me know in the thread and I'll keep the thread updated with progress reports.
Cheers
Dan
