In this video I will discuss the my experience in detail of the Yong Heng 4350 psi compressor as well as provide some tip to help make your experience better
All of your videos are informative and very thorough. I am new to PCP air rifles and accessories. But your videos are breaking down the learning curve for me and I very much appreciate the time and effort that you put in for the rest of us to make informed decisions on what equipment would work best for us. Again, Thanks.
Thanks for the Wal-Mart tip! Just ordered one of these pumps with a 3yr life preserver. Kudos to you for the time and effort. Excellent job on researching and sharing information about this pump and accessories...
Thanks so much for all the time and effort that you have put into these videos. Your contribution to air compression for the PCP is greatly appreciated. I'm pleased to hear that you are getting satisfactory results using the Tuxing High Pressure air filter with reusable media. Happy air gunning and thanks again.
Had my YH for over a year now. Followed your tips from day one and it's worked flawlessly. The tank fill check valve made things much safer & easier. Extended female foster is a must for the FX Royale/Boss/Bobcat platform! Just wanted to acknowledge the great info & say THANKS!
I just ordered the the same compressor from Walmart. And I wanted to THANK YOU for the pitfalls & advice on servicing this unit. It appears pretty straight forward and keep all areas that come in contact with water serviced & inspect frequently! Thank You!
New to PCP. This video is pure gold! New subscriber with notifications. Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this video. You answered all my PCP fill questions. And you provided resources, references, URLs, etc. Free beverages for you if we ever meet. Best to you, Mark in Colorado.
Holy crap I've followed this since the first one ..excelent . Update ..I purchased one off the back of one of these videos .. and is and has been a dream .. 1yr and going strong
I got some good use of mine and it works brilliantly A few good pointers is to use distilled water with regular coolant fluid for aluminum motors Else the aluminum compressor head will be pitted pretty quickly inside, dissolve the aluminum Also let the compressor run freely for at least two whole minutes before starting to pressurize as the piston and cylinder actually needs to get up to working temperature to work best as possible and wear down as little as possible, just think of it like a regular aluminum combustion engine, it is just the same. The water separator you can get to be installed after the compressor, you can get one rather cheap online for just this model of compressor, it is actually just a cylinder that the compressed air gets through the top of and the water then flows down and slowly fills this cylinder the once in a while you just bleed out this cylinder/tank at the bottom and you can also do this with the big tanks if you have a manual valve, just hold the valve downwards and bleed out the water before usage That is pretty much it, use as good quality oil as possible and this will also help with the compression effectiveness of the compressor. I hope you then gets as happy as i do Sorry for my bad English, i don't know the proper English word for what the effect regular tap water has on aluminum as coolant, but grey white scales grows out from the dissolved aluminum and impact the lifespan and cooling performance of the compressor head greatly
What a great video. Thankyou for going into so much detail about setting everything up with the inline filters and valves. I'm new to pcp's, and this an invaluable beginners guide.
I am just getting back into PCP shooting. I go way back to when the Career 707 first came on the scene. Your in-depth update review of the Yong Heng Compressor is most insightful. Thank you.
This is the kind of content that 's just worth its weight in gold, thanks SO much for sharing, this saves us a lot of headaches !! The Iorman 8mm quick disconnect seems no longer available, in its place a part by "Outdoor Guy " that costs double !
God bless u 🙏 you are a good man we need more men like u in the world thanks for educating us on what not to do when servicing these i will be purchasing this for my 3000PSI tank for my paintball gun
I've been running my unit for 13 months now and not a single issue. I direct fill my gun only which takes right at 2 minutes every time. I would highly recommend putting the cotton filter closest to the end of your fill hose as a last safe catch and running a vertical water/oil trap mounted like they typically show on the Amazon add. You'll need to drill some holes but this setup pulls all the moisture out before the cotton filter. In one year's time, I haven't had to change that cotton filter so it's obviously working like this very well. I've been using the Royal Purple Synfilm Air Compressor Oil which from all my research seems to be one of the best there is for this application. I wouldn't recommend this unit for filling scuba tanks. That tiny little piston will have to work hard to generate all that "volume" of air. Pressure in small volumes like direct filling your gun is very gentle on the compressor and should last many, many years!
I went overboard after reading how terrible moisture is for your air gun and baught 2 filters on top of the one that came with my tuxing compressor and honestly iv never seen the moisture make it past the little stock filter, the other 2 are always completely dry. I guess California is pretty dry though.
Good stuff, I bought the compressor called the GX PUMP CS2/3-B451. It's only air cooled most of the time during the run time I bleed it at least 2-3 times I run it for 10-12 minutes and it's been fine. I've had it about a year. I did have a choke start the other day but it didn't happen again . I will definatly purchase a filter plus I will get the same bleed set up you have on your Yong Heng compressor thank You for the video... great work on your compressor thanks again.
As a mechanic of 30 years professionally, I REALLY appreciate (respect) that you are "intelligent" enough to Use You EARS! I walk past the kids in the shop, and my mind snaps back, "what the Hell you doing?".
Great video. I have the same problem with my well water. I do maintenance every month to take top head off inspect for lime scale deposit and clean it out then apply silicone to all seals. I change the oil also. Then just go over entire parts that may have dirt or oil in the fittings. I love this compressor its been great and well worth the money. If you check out the high end compressors that go for $1,000 they have this motor and head in them. Take off fittings first before removing socket cap screws. The rust is from condensation that's why i say do maintenance every month.
Good review good info perfect update and explanation. Well explained and full detailed notes. I like the way it was presented and good knowledge transfer. The best video I have ever seen. Good to listen learn and acquire the data.
After watching your video I can see why springers are still popular 😂, I own PCPs and have been using the Shoebox 4500 PSI with a 90 psi assist compressor , I’ve had mine for 8 years with no issues, not even a replacement o-rings but I do lubricate the shafts frequently ! I have followed your videos on the Yong Heng compressor and purchased one as a backup , appreciate all the work you do to keep us informed !
many thanks - I´ve just bought a Yong Heng Compressor - so it was very interesting und rather clear to hear your explainings - great- many thx from germany
Great video, thanks! I removed the gauge from my CGA347 fill station kit and installed a 6000 psi Tee, re-installed the gauge to the Tee and installed a 6000 psi male foster check valve to the remaining port of the Tee. Now I can fill my guns as normal AND when I need to refill the tank I can put a test plug in the fill whip and put the compressor fill whip on the male foster check valve. Now I don't ever need to remove the fill station from the tank. Hope that makes sense and helps others.
I agree with you on the way to use these pumps in a way that they will last longest.. 10 to 15 minutes at a time and they will go on & on & On like the energizer Bunny!
I don't know if you will read this. (three years later). I purchased a two-cylinder Tuxing compressor. It is a dream, Faster, quieter, And for the cost, an excellent buy. You'll never go back to a single cylinder I'd bet. I tore apart my little Tuxing single. And you were correct, regular compressor oil is not good enough for these. I have switched to Jenny Ultimate Blue.I accidentally over heated the compressor. When I tore it down it was surprisingly clean inside. The two stage/two cylinder stays cool much easier. I have no idea why, But I no longer need ice. I saw a lot of corrosion in the cooling system of my first compressor, so I added auto anti-freeze. Problem solved.
@@AirVelocitySport The TUXING seems to be working fine. I added a water separator to my single and doing that brought the cost to nearly even with the two cylinder. Which comes with a water separator. I opted to not have the auto shut off. I monitor my compressor while filling. I have read reviews where the auto shut-off did not shut the compressor down. That could be a costly mistake.
@steven schwichtenberg I'm in the market for a compressor by hill pump MK5 Broke down as I pumped up a 6.8 liter bottle from 0 psi to 4500 an kept using it pumping around 200-300 psi when it drops down id top it with the pump. An air venturi is behind on warranty I might dispute the purchase with the bank they cant just have me waiting months for warranty for this pump I NEED AIR I WANT TO SHOOT I PAID FULL PRICE, I can fix the pump my self but im not going with my money buying replacement parts just to fix my PUMP Nope I want a compressor now I will be running slugs an huffin an puffin on air pump is not the move, But once I get the dispute money which compressor do you recommend yong heng or the tuxing 2 cylinder you were talking about.
Some guy on the tuxing 2 cylinder compressor amazon reviews said this, "i have used one of these compressors before and found it to be good for the price, the problem starts when you have a warrant claim with it .The first time i used it after about 10 minutes i found it was not putting any air into the cylinder i was filling. Also the room that it was in was filling with smoke and oil was pumping out of the crankcase breather , Contacted Amazon to be told due to it being purchased from a third party seller i would have to claim direct from Tuxin. After a number of emails and phone calls , most of it time wasting wanting photos then videos. they then tell you that you need to strip it and buy the parts need yourself." With the 2 cyclinder u better hope there aint no problems with it you will have to take it apart an diagnose the issues an fix them with the spare parts thats not an appealing though for me at least, Makes me definitely want to settle for the walmart yong heng protection plan warrenty, an u best believe im runnin in there if the yong breaks if it does, Been doing research to give it the most longevity out of whatever compressor I get.
going on 5 years now ..still works as good as new. I got the 220v . I plug into dryer outlet.I think I paid $303. and change ... I love it. Really been using it directly to fill my guns....so a minute or 2 at a time.. this air machine is so much faster than other pumps.
Thanks sir, this was a very helpful tutorial. It explains all ins and outs about safety . Surfing the web looking for my future set up , this vid made my day... So all newbies into pcp airguns ,watch this it is Cool-a-mundo .
glad i found your channel. this is incredible. thought i was going to have to drop like 2k for a 45 compressor but this thing is a marvel. even if it just lasts a year and craps the bed it is still a fantastic buy.
Thanks for the useful info........ I just bought one of these to use with my Avenger. Safety is something that needs to be emphasized above all else. I work with high pressure gasses all the time, and have for over 50 years. Any rupture or failure can be incredibly violent. I've seen the aftermath of several accidents but never had one myself. In one case many years ago I was swapping out nitrogen bottles that were ganged together to supply nitrogen for a nitrogen burst in a chemical process. These bottles were big... nearly as tall as I was. The rule I followed religiously was to NEVER move a full bottle without the cap, and do not remove the cap until the bottle is secured........The guy on the other shift was not so "religious", and had one tip over with the cap off and break the stem off below the valve. The bottle went through 2 cinder block walls, wrecked about 4 vehicles and ended up 3 blocks away. The trail of destruction was something to behold!! In another case a man delivering gas to a big shop bounced a full large oxygen bottle (cap on) down about a foot from a power lift gate to the concrete floor. The bottle landed right side up as he intended, but the shock caused a fracture, and the bottle literally exploded........ I saw some of the damage later, and was told that there was virtually nothing left of the man, and several others were injured by fragments. The energy stored in a bottle of high pressure industrial gas, air, etc is immense. Even ordinary shop air compressor tanks cause tremendous damage if they fail, and they typically only have from 120 - 180 psi......A tiny fraction of 4500!!
A few extra tips while filling your tanks...I add ice to my cooling tank as well as my soak tank. As we all know as you compress a gas it heats up and expands, this expansion takes up volume, the quicker you can cool the gas the more volume you can recover inside the tank. This will give you a better top off or fill if your going from 0 psi. I use 1 gallon milk jugs that I fill with water and freeze. I then add 2 jugs to my soak tank and let that sit for about 30-45 minutes. That gets the water inside the tub cold enough to absorb the heat from the air tank without warming to rapidly. For my compressor cooling, I use 2" PVC pipe 4-6" long, capped and filled with water, be sure to leave enough room for expansion. I freeze the tubes and add this to my cooling tank as fill. The colder water moving through the heads will prolong the life of the O-rings. Also be sure to run the cooling pump for about 20 minutes after the compressor is shut off.
I just made this purchase based on watching all your vids. W/confidence. W/ no auto shut off. Thank you very much. WalMart was out of stock w/ no dates of restock. Amazon vendors were running out too. Stating may never restock. I figure on account of the carona virus. They were disappearing as i contimplating. They were 16 left yesterday and only 9 left this morning from one vendor. I didnt purchase the warranty (ive 30 days to do so) because i figured, no compressors left, cant replace what aint there. If only 1 vendor has 9 left. He cant replace w/ thin air. Thank you again for all your hard work. You never answered whether or not your AVS .254 slugs are working for Sumatras tho. Mines a .251. Any reviews to be read? I read on airgun nation 1 bit where 1 guy said "he heard" they wouldnt chamber in a Sumatra. They sure work great in your rifles. Shooting shotguns shells at a 100yrd, cant beat that. Thanks again.
yes I agree with you that there is no need to buy the warranty as it is probably useless given that you might have to pay shipping and this little compressor is very heavy.yes the coronavirus is probably going to limit supply here in the US and around the world.as far as the samatra goes I would not try to use the 254 in a 251 barrel as this could be a problem. Also be careful on the oil you use in your Yong Heng compressor.I am no longer using hydraulic oil and instead using breathing air compressor oil which runs much cleaner and does not carbonize on the. I will put out a video very soon detailing the exact oil and the benefits.
@@AirVelocitySport Ok, thanks alot for replying about the slugs. HS 48g are working great but there QC kinda sucks. Out of a huge order many were deformed but AGD made it right, and a finger nail file. lol. But they are .253 and the good ones are accurate to 135yrd so far which is fine for my 10 acres. My pellet days are over Im sure the carona virus will pass. Just a matter of how bad and how long. This compressor seems popular so im sure theyll be a come back. Hopefully mine will last long enuff. China already shut down, so i couldnt buy the replacement package you showed. Im a retired automotive machinist, built many a motor so i figure i can maintain this thing reasonably well. Got my Sumatra at a estate sale for 150 bucks, 1 scratch, unknown history. But it shoots great. My 1st PCP. Again, thanks for all your hard work. Im a follower for sure. Learnt good, solid practical stuff from you. Keep up the excellent work. Youre very good at it.
@@AirVelocitySport I did order a pack of the replacement oil/water filters. They had good reviews. And a gallon of Triax ATROS Multi-VIS AW 46 Full Synthetic Hydraulic Oil, another guy recommended it after he tried the purple and said it was too thin. Lubrication is everything in any motor. So the right kind will deff add to longevity. And it can always be drained out. I run straight weights in my drag bike that not easily foundt any more and a diff one in my muscle car. From from what ive read synthetic is a top choice for these. Again thanks. Ill be looking out for your updates. Yove already saved me $. Kinda feel guilty like i owe your something. But im hyper blood like you. Lol. You the man!
I have the tuxing gold tube and I’ve added a Hill pump filter filled with desiccant on the air intake on the Yong Heng compressor. Plus using hydraulic oil and it’s actually staying clean!
Thanks for your continued update videos on the life and difficulties of these compressors. Do you run it unloaded after each fill to try and pump out all the moisture? With all that corrosion it looks like they're not using the right materials for those components.
Thanks for the vid. , I had a blow off pressure disc go on me yesterday when I was using my new warrior to charge my gun,, first time I’ve ever charged the Kral np02 ,, got to 180 bar then bang , however charging my other gun , Gamo urban / Gamo Phox ,, many times to 200 bar never a problem very strange ,, cheers Shane uk
Thank you for a great video, I was about to order the auto shutoff, then I decided to check out your updated video. Gonna order the non auto. I just subscribed as well.
@@AirVelocitySport Actually I am a Pipefitter by trade and a tig welder so I'm looking to build my own custom air bow. I was looking for a good compressor that's how I stumbled upon your video and now I'm glad I did Thank you very much
Thanks for all the information on this compressor which I bought a year or so ago after watching your review. I would add that while aluminum doesn't rust, it does oxidize just like iron and every other metal, especially in contact with a dissimilar metal in the presence of water (an electrolyte), which is why we have dielectric unions and sacrificial anodes, it's called galvanic corrosion. Aluminum does tend to self seal by forming an oxidized surface layer, but that is tenuous at best, especially in contact with dissimilar metals and water.
Great presentation! I’m new to pcp’s. Have watched tons of videos on practically everything about it before diving in. In fact I was looking on buying the Hatsan Hydra. But as I go deeper into educating myself about air guns, I’ve learned there is a ton of work that needs to be done just on the propellant side of it. Not to mention cost! Therefore I think I’ll go ahead and stick to my slingshot! 🤔
Thanks for your videos. I lot of good advice. I use Royal Purple oil and change it frequently. I got tired of carrying buckets of water so I used a dual fan 12 tube CPU radiator, a low voltage pump and power supply from Amazon. I use a universal coolant recover bottle from an automotive store for a reservoir. It works. I’ll use antifreeze with a coolant additive to protect the cooling system. I have a picture.
Hey Steve, these "cheap" Chinese compressors are not a bad value at $290 but they definitely can have some minor issues that need to be addressed like a faulty check valve or leaky oring. Hope you are doing well during this crazy time? Stephen
Great video, thank you! I have shot regular guns all of my life but I am trying to research air gunning in order to take up shooting in that arena too. I'm thinking of getting the Air Venturi avenger, mainly for plinking. I had a thought regarding the calcification and mineral deposits in your cooling line....would it be beneficial to use automotive coolant/radiator fluid in a bucket as cooling fluid? It should prevent the mineral deposits and the ethylene glycol will provide a degree of lubricity. Just a thought.
🤣🤣🤣 Reminds me of the many times I've broken something I was trying to fix, except for the expletives I throw out after doing so. Kudos! for keeping so even keeled.😁
Awesome video brother. I get my tanks filled at the fire station. I have a few connections there. But I'm looking at filling up my tanks myself. Although I get my tanks are filled for free. Think I'm going to go the Walmart way and see about that 4-year warranty. Just easier to do it at home I would think. By the way once again thank you for telling me about the peek popit. You Always have good videos brother. I've learned quite a bit from you. And like I said you really take the guesswork out of it for Meatheads like myself. I just shared your video with my cousin. He's getting into air rifling pretty serious himself.👍🇺🇸✌
Nice review! thanks for all the info. Wonder if running the compressor for 10 mins after your done with no load would help dry out the system and you wouldn't have the rust problem. No load shouldn't stress it right?
Using antifreeze in your cooling water will help a lot in preventing all the oxidation of the aluminum head. It has inhibitors to prevent it because most engine blocks now are made from aluminum.
Tips on beast mode! Thanks for sharing all you've learned over the years. Does the "new" head look different then the "old" one or is it just internal?
Pmsl at the bloopers at the end 😂😂😂 Nice video thanks for sharing. Am seriously considering one one of those little compressors and learned a lot from mate thanks for the info cheers from the uk..
I’m pretty sure this channel is now a complete authority on these great little compressors, Thanks!

Holy crap I've followed this since the first one ..excelent . Update ..I purchased one off the back of one of these videos .. and is and has been a dream .. 1yr and going strong
Amazing detail to the workings of this compressor, very knowledgeable, thanks for sharing.
I got some good use of mine and it works brilliantly
A few good pointers is to use distilled water with regular coolant fluid
for aluminum motors
Else the aluminum compressor head will be pitted pretty quickly inside,
dissolve the aluminum
Also let the compressor run freely for at least two whole minutes before
starting to pressurize as the piston and cylinder actually needs to get
up to working temperature to work best as possible and wear down as
little as possible, just think of it like a regular aluminum combustion
engine, it is just the same.
The water separator you can get to be installed after the compressor,
you can get one rather cheap online for just this model of compressor,
it is actually just a cylinder that the compressed air gets through the
top of and the water then flows down and slowly fills this cylinder the
once in a while you just bleed out this cylinder/tank at the bottom and
you can also do this with the big tanks if you have a manual valve, just
hold the valve downwards and bleed out the water before usage
That is pretty much it, use as good quality oil as possible and this
will also help with the compression effectiveness of the compressor.
I hope you then gets as happy as i do
Sorry for my bad English, i don't know the proper English word for what
the effect regular tap water has on aluminum as coolant, but grey white
scales grows out from the dissolved aluminum and impact the lifespan and
cooling performance of the compressor head greatly
Both antifreeze and di water?
thank youu, your english is exellent by the way.
Demi water is suitable
Thank you!! in depth repair/review pointed me in the right direction I replaced the check valve o-ring and regulator valve back in business 😎

@steven schwichtenberg I'm in the market for a compressor by hill pump MK5 Broke down as I pumped up a 6.8 liter bottle from 0 psi to 4500 an kept using it pumping around 200-300 psi when it drops down id top it with the pump. An air venturi is behind on warranty I might dispute the purchase with the bank they cant just have me waiting months for warranty for this pump I NEED AIR I WANT TO SHOOT I PAID FULL PRICE, I can fix the pump my self but im not going with my money buying replacement parts just to fix my PUMP Nope I want a compressor now I will be running slugs an huffin an puffin on air pump is not the move, But once I get the dispute money which compressor do you recommend yong heng or the tuxing 2 cylinder you were talking about.
Some guy on the tuxing 2 cylinder compressor amazon reviews said this, "i have used one of these compressors before and found it to be good for the price, the problem starts when you have a warrant claim with it .The first time i used it after about 10 minutes i found it was not putting any air into the cylinder i was filling. Also the room that it was in was filling with smoke and oil was pumping out of the crankcase breather , Contacted Amazon to be told due to it being purchased from a third party seller i would have to claim direct from Tuxin. After a number of emails and phone calls , most of it time wasting wanting photos then videos. they then tell you that you need to strip it and buy the parts need yourself." With the 2 cyclinder u better hope there aint no problems with it you will have to take it apart an diagnose the issues an fix them with the spare parts thats not an appealing though for me at least, Makes me definitely want to settle for the walmart yong heng protection plan warrenty, an u best believe im runnin in there if the yong breaks if it does, Been doing research to give it the most longevity out of whatever compressor I get.
Well done explaining this. Saved me a bunch of time and headache thanks a million
Very helpful information. Thanks!
Phenomenal video... GREAT information.
going on 5 years now ..still works as good as new. I got the 220v . I plug into dryer outlet.I think I paid $303. and change ... I love it. Really been using it directly to fill my guns....so a minute or 2 at a time.. this air machine is so much faster than other pumps.
YES, But with a 68L tank, I feel well-stocked to go squirrel hunting. Have fun.
Thanks sir, this was a very helpful tutorial. It explains all ins and outs about safety .
Surfing the web looking for my future set up , this vid made my day...
So all newbies into pcp airguns ,watch this it is Cool-a-mundo .
Great video....great ideas....great work....solved some of my problems....you should start posting links.... but that's ok...keep up the good work
glad i found your channel. this is incredible. thought i was going to have to drop like 2k for a 45 compressor but this thing is a marvel. even if it just lasts a year and craps the bed it is still a fantastic buy.
Yes, it will last if you do not push to hard.
Thanks for the useful info........ I just bought one of these to use with my Avenger.
Safety is something that needs to be emphasized above all else. I work with high pressure gasses all the time, and have for over 50 years. Any rupture or failure can be incredibly violent. I've seen the aftermath of several accidents but never had one myself. In one case many years ago I was swapping out nitrogen bottles that were ganged together to supply nitrogen for a nitrogen burst in a chemical process. These bottles were big... nearly as tall as I was. The rule I followed religiously was to NEVER move a full bottle without the cap, and do not remove the cap until the bottle is secured........The guy on the other shift was not so "religious", and had one tip over with the cap off and break the stem off below the valve. The bottle went through 2 cinder block walls, wrecked about 4 vehicles and ended up 3 blocks away. The trail of destruction was something to behold!! In another case a man delivering gas to a big shop bounced a full large oxygen bottle (cap on) down about a foot from a power lift gate to the concrete floor. The bottle landed right side up as he intended, but the shock caused a fracture, and the bottle literally exploded........ I saw some of the damage later, and was told that there was virtually nothing left of the man, and several others were injured by fragments. The energy stored in a bottle of high pressure industrial gas, air, etc is immense. Even ordinary shop air compressor tanks cause tremendous damage if they fail, and they typically only have from 120 - 180 psi......A tiny fraction of 4500!!
thank you for making and posting this video!!
Good stuff Steve! hope you and your family are well!!!!!
Thanks for the info. Still got to debox mine.
Great video...like the bloopers most of all! Merry Christmas!
Great in depth video as always. 👍
Supergood video! Nice work!
A few extra tips while filling your tanks...I add ice to my cooling tank as well as my soak tank. As we all know as you compress a gas it heats up and expands, this expansion takes up volume, the quicker you can cool the gas the more volume you can recover inside the tank. This will give you a better top off or fill if your going from 0 psi. I use 1 gallon milk jugs that I fill with water and freeze. I then add 2 jugs to my soak tank and let that sit for about 30-45 minutes. That gets the water inside the tub cold enough to absorb the heat from the air tank without warming to rapidly. For my compressor cooling, I use 2" PVC pipe 4-6" long, capped and filled with water, be sure to leave enough room for expansion. I freeze the tubes and add this to my cooling tank as fill. The colder water moving through the heads will prolong the life of the O-rings. Also be sure to run the cooling pump for about 20 minutes after the compressor is shut off.
Greatest video out there info is the best .. Very good coverage of all the things that you need to know about. Thanks
Glad it helps
I just made this purchase based on watching all your vids. W/confidence. W/ no auto shut off. Thank you very much. WalMart was out of stock w/ no dates of restock. Amazon vendors were running out too. Stating may never restock. I figure on account of the carona virus. They were disappearing as i contimplating. They were 16 left yesterday and only 9 left this morning from one vendor. I didnt purchase the warranty (ive 30 days to do so) because i figured, no compressors left, cant replace what aint there. If only 1 vendor has 9 left. He cant replace w/ thin air. Thank you again for all your hard work. You never answered whether or not your AVS .254 slugs are working for Sumatras tho. Mines a .251. Any reviews to be read? I read on airgun nation 1 bit where 1 guy said "he heard" they wouldnt chamber in a Sumatra. They sure work great in your rifles. Shooting shotguns shells at a 100yrd, cant beat that. Thanks again.
yes I agree with you that there is no need to buy the warranty as it is probably useless given that you might have to pay shipping and this little compressor is very heavy.yes the coronavirus is probably going to limit supply here in the US and around the world.as far as the samatra goes I would not try to use the 254 in a 251 barrel as this could be a problem. Also be careful on the oil you use in your Yong Heng compressor.I am no longer using hydraulic oil and instead using breathing air compressor oil which runs much cleaner and does not carbonize on the. I will put out a video very soon detailing the exact oil and the benefits.
@@AirVelocitySport Ok, thanks alot for replying about the slugs. HS 48g are working great but there QC kinda sucks. Out of a huge order many were deformed but AGD made it right, and a finger nail file. lol. But they are .253 and the good ones are accurate to 135yrd so far which is fine for my 10 acres. My pellet days are over
Im sure the carona virus will pass. Just a matter of how bad and how long. This compressor seems popular so im sure theyll be a come back. Hopefully mine will last long enuff. China already shut down, so i couldnt buy the replacement package you showed. Im a retired automotive machinist, built many a motor so i figure i can maintain this thing reasonably well. Got my Sumatra at a estate sale for 150 bucks, 1 scratch, unknown history. But it shoots great. My 1st PCP.
Again, thanks for all your hard work. Im a follower for sure. Learnt good, solid practical stuff from you. Keep up the excellent work. Youre very good at it.
@@AirVelocitySport I did order a pack of the replacement oil/water filters. They had good reviews. And a gallon of Triax ATROS Multi-VIS AW 46 Full Synthetic Hydraulic Oil, another guy recommended it after he tried the purple and said it was too thin. Lubrication is everything in any motor. So the right kind will deff add to longevity. And it can always be drained out. I run straight weights in my drag bike that not easily foundt any more and a diff one in my muscle car. From from what ive read synthetic is a top choice for these. Again thanks. Ill be looking out for your updates. Yove already saved me $. Kinda feel guilty like i owe your something. But im hyper blood like you. Lol. You the man!
Thank you very much for this extremely useful review. I'm buying one of these and I will use auto-coolant in mine as it is anti-corrosion.
Wonderful informative easy to understand im convinced. Wish i could afford it all .😁
I have the tuxing gold tube and I’ve added a Hill pump filter filled with desiccant on the air intake on the Yong Heng compressor. Plus using hydraulic oil and it’s actually staying clean!
Do you have a link to the desiccant filter?
My is 5 years old and still going I only change the compressor oil .
Very happy.
Thanks for your continued update videos on the life and difficulties of these compressors. Do you run it unloaded after each fill to try and pump out all the moisture? With all that corrosion it looks like they're not using the right materials for those components.
Love the outtakes at the end.
Fine video. Cool out takes.
Great vid! keep up the great work.
Get ready for the piston to crack mine just went again if anyone can’t charge gun or bottle this will be the problem 👀 great video 👍
Thanks for the vid. , I had a blow off pressure disc go on me yesterday when I was using my new warrior to charge my gun,, first time I’ve ever charged the Kral np02 ,, got to 180 bar then bang , however charging my other gun , Gamo urban / Gamo Phox ,, many times to 200 bar never a problem very strange ,, cheers Shane uk
Very informative and useful video. I bought the Yong heng and liked it so much bought a second one as a back up.
My dive shop started charging me 27.00 to top off my tank, my yong heng has paid for itself after 10 fills.
I saved this video to favs. Too much good info to lose. Thank you!
Thank you for a great video, I was about to order the auto shutoff, then I decided to check out your updated video. Gonna order the non auto. I just subscribed as well.
Thanks, for all the great info.
Good information, thanks much.
SteveK
Thanks for the info! I'm going to use distilled water/distilled ice on my compressor.
I am new to PCPs and this was a Great video very comprehensive. So good I just subscribed to your channel.
Love the bloopers at the end
Thank you and I hope you have fun on your pcp journey.
@@AirVelocitySport Actually I am a Pipefitter by trade and a tig welder so I'm looking to build my own custom air bow. I was looking for a good compressor that's how I stumbled upon your video and now I'm glad I did Thank you very much
Thanks for all the information on this compressor which I bought a year or so ago after watching your review. I would add that while aluminum doesn't rust, it does oxidize just like iron and every other metal, especially in contact with a dissimilar metal in the presence of water (an electrolyte), which is why we have dielectric unions and sacrificial anodes, it's called galvanic corrosion. Aluminum does tend to self seal by forming an oxidized surface layer, but that is tenuous at best, especially in contact with dissimilar metals and water.
I bought the check valve. Gosh thanks for the tip. It’s obvious for filling. No balancing.
Excellent! Thank you very much.
Really great information Thanks
Great presentation! I’m new to pcp’s. Have watched tons of videos on practically everything about it before diving in. In fact I was looking on buying the Hatsan Hydra. But as I go deeper into educating myself about air guns, I’ve learned there is a ton of work that needs to be done just on the propellant side of it. Not to mention cost! Therefore I think I’ll go ahead and stick to my slingshot! 🤔
Lmfao!! Welcome to the info search my friend. I'm in the same boat!!
Danke, gute Infos dabei! :)
Thanks for your video ! Very good info.
Thanks for your videos. I lot of good advice. I use Royal Purple oil and change it frequently. I got tired of carrying buckets of water so I used a dual fan 12 tube CPU radiator, a low voltage pump and power supply from Amazon. I use a universal coolant recover bottle from an automotive store for a reservoir. It works. I’ll use antifreeze with a coolant additive to protect the cooling system. I have a picture.
One Sub and like for your open and honest manner..
Greetings from Germany
Excellent review, thank you. ..was looking for an update on these machines. Steve
Hey Steve, these "cheap" Chinese compressors are not a bad value at $290 but they definitely can have some minor issues that need to be addressed like a faulty check valve or leaky oring. Hope you are doing well during this crazy time? Stephen
@@AirVelocitySport I can see that they can be a good value, thanks for the good info. All good here. Florida beginning to open up now 👍
Great video, thank you! I have shot regular guns all of my life but I am trying to research air gunning in order to take up shooting in that arena too. I'm thinking of getting the Air Venturi avenger, mainly for plinking.
I had a thought regarding the calcification and mineral deposits in your cooling line....would it be beneficial to use automotive coolant/radiator fluid in a bucket as cooling fluid? It should prevent the mineral deposits and the ethylene glycol will provide a degree of lubricity. Just a thought.
Really great video, thank you 👍
🤣🤣🤣 Reminds me of the many times I've broken something I was trying to fix, except for the expletives I throw out after doing so. Kudos! for keeping so even keeled.😁
Awesome video brother. I get my tanks filled at the fire station. I have a few connections there. But I'm looking at filling up my tanks myself. Although I get my tanks are filled for free. Think I'm going to go the Walmart way and see about that 4-year warranty. Just easier to do it at home I would think. By the way once again thank you for telling me about the peek popit. You Always have good videos brother. I've learned quite a bit from you. And like I said you really take the guesswork out of it for Meatheads like myself. I just shared your video with my cousin. He's getting into air rifling pretty serious himself.👍🇺🇸✌
Thank you Richard!
Extended knurled couplings...... Great tip...
Nice review! thanks for all the info. Wonder if running the compressor for 10 mins after your done with no load would help dry out the system and you wouldn't have the rust problem. No load shouldn't stress it right?
Using antifreeze in your cooling water will help a lot in preventing all the oxidation of the aluminum head. It has inhibitors to prevent it because most engine blocks now are made from aluminum.
Tips on beast mode! Thanks for sharing all you've learned over the years. Does the "new" head look different then the "old" one or is it just internal?
Very good informations 👍
Mine's working since 2 years without any repairs whatsoever. Used it with proper care and it's doing wonders.
Yes, I love my yong Heng compressor. I used hydraulic oil whichnis no good.
@@AirVelocitySport Been using 5w-40 engine oil with mine. Replace it on time when it starts to turn blackish.
Great video
To my understanding there's a check valve in the YH stopping back pressure into the unit for filling tank in the auto stop version
Pmsl at the bloopers at the end 😂😂😂 Nice video thanks for sharing. Am seriously considering one one of those little compressors and learned a lot from mate thanks for the info cheers from the uk..
Right now my is over 2 years 😀😀😀👍very happy.
LOL love the out takes, good hoot....
