Why can’t I fully refill my SMACO mini scuba tank using a normal scuba tank?

If your SMACO mini scuba tank doesn’t fill up completely when using a standard scuba tank, it’s likely due to a pressure imbalance. To successfully transfer air from one tank to another, the source tank must have a higher pressure than the receiving tank (ideally over 3000 PSI / 200 Bar).

Key Reasons Why This May Happen:
1. Low Pressure in Donor Tank: The standard scuba tank may not have enough remaining pressure (it must be higher than 3000 PSI / 200 Bar) to fully fill the SMACO tank.

2. Improper Adapter Connection: Double-check that the refill adapter is securely and correctly connected to prevent leaks.

Tips for Proper Refilling:
1. Use a donor tank with pressure significantly higher than 3000 PSI (200 Bar).

2. Open the valves slowly to prevent sudden surges or leaks.
