I think there are a multitude of reasons that people's compressors fail on them. I think it's more of a lack of understanding the physics behind it, and less neglect. I've watched several videos of people's repairs on their Yong Heng compressors. All of them revolve around the piston rings, cylinders, flapper valves, etc.... These are all parts of the high pressure side of the compressor. So here is my theory, and here's what I've done to avoid them. #1. You are dead on correct when you say to bleed the air before turning off the machine. Not only does this drain the gross oil/water mixture that has collected in the compression process, but it relieves the massive amount of pressure pushing against the piston head. On the Yonh Heng compressor, there is only 1 piston. But it's a 2 stage compression process. The piston controls 2 functions- high and low pressure. Higher end compressors have 2 or more pistons. Each piston typically controls a specific stage in the compression process. If you ever removed the shroud from the cooling fan on the back of the compressor while the compressor is off, and rotate the fan, you can cycle the piston and hear/create a compression. If you can do that with your hand, imagine the force that would push against that piston if you stopped the compressor mid pump without bleeding off the pressure first. NOT GOOD! But I think another problem people have, even if they bleed off the pressure before shutting off the machine is when they're pressurizing their air hose to charge the tank, and when the hose gets to the "approximate" tank pressure, and they open the valve on the tank. If the pressure in the tank is higher than the pressure in the compressor, then there's a massive push back against the high pressure piston on the compressor. It's very sudden and shocking, and it could be catastrophic to the piston if the pressures are significantly different. Knowing this, here's what I did. I suggest anyone and everyone who owns one of these compressors do this. Buy this: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HL1M8XQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and this: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004M37FYA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This creates a self regulating, unidirectional check valve. You put this inline between the compressor hose and the tank hose. Obviously the air flow goes through the fill nipple adapter, and out the male quick disconnect. When I use this, I plug the male quick disconnect into the female quick disconnect on my tank, and open the valve all the way. Then I plug the fill nipple adapter end into the female quick disconnect on my compressor. The high pressure in the tank will close the valve on the male fill nipple from the back side (just like it does on the air cylinder on your air rifle tank). When the pressure on the compressor supersedes the pressure of the tank that's keeping the valve closed, the valve will open, and air will start flowing into the tank. It's self regulating, and it's seamless. It adds zero additional stress on the pistons of your compressor. You can actually see the point that the regulator opens because the gauge on the compressor and the gauge on the tank have subtle differences in "actual pressure" readings. You will see the gauge on the compressor move slightly, and the progress of the fill will slow significantly. And because the valve is a 1 way check valve, when you open the drain valve on the compressor just before shutting it off, the pressure in the tank will close the valve again from the back side. Then you simply close the valve on your CF tank, and bleed off the air in the hose. All done, with zero imbalance or unnecessary pressure on your pistons or cylinders. The 2nd issue people are having is with the aluminum (water cooled) heat sync on top of the cylinder head. It's corroding from the inside. When you add heat to unfiltered tap water, it mineralizes and calcifies. Not only does this eventually impede the flow of the water, but it promotes and expedites pitting and corrosion. So the fix to this is simple. Distilled water! Distilled water is evaporated and re-condensed. It has zero chemicals or minerals in it. Get yourself a 5 gallon bucket, and buy yourself 3 gallons of distilled water. It only costs $1.50 per gallon. Keep the water sealed in the bucket with a lid. This can be your permanent cooling supply for your compressor. You just need to make room for it. The way you cool the water is to stick 2 or 3 water bottles in your freezer and get them frozen solid. When the temperature of the compressor starts to get close to the max operating temp, drop in 1 or 2 of the frozen water bottles. By doing this you can actually cool the water without contaminating it. It works flawlessly. Also, when you're done using your compressor, and you shut it off and disconnect the water hose, there is STILL water sitting inside of that little hollow aluminum heat sync. Get a compressor with an air nozzle on it, stick it onto one of the little water intake ports, and squeeze it off. Stand back, because you will be AMAZED how much water comes out. But you can blow air into it for about 20 seconds, and get that thing bone dry inside. So that's my input to your video. I'm not trying to hijack it or anything. I know other people (as well as myself) have spent a LOT of money on their compressors, and they want it to last as LONG AS POSSIBLE! Remember, a wise man learns from his mistakes, but a wiser man learns from the mistakes of others.

Thank you for the information. That all makes sense. I too have put a check valve on my cga347 fill whip. This way I can open the tank before start the compressor with any pressure on the compressor. Then start the pump once the pressure excess the pressure in the tank the one way valve opens allowing the tank to be filled.

Great info and very useful, thanks! However, I am still unclear what is the full process of opening/closing valve knobs on Yong Heng compressor itself. Mine is manual version and has two valves: one is called Pressure Relief Valve (its next to whip hose connection point) and other one is called Drain Valve (located on opposite end of the compressor, next to safety valve). When you say what is the exact sequence to open/close them when used in conjunction with 1-way check valve between tank and compressor as you described?

I just got mine today and the instructions say to have the bleeder valve open on startup, which is even more important. I also blow out the water lines when done. Why let that water stay in the water jacket? I use distilled water too. That was a no-brainer for me since I have well water. Good tips.

I have a similar setup but I went another step further with another smaller filter after my gold tuxing gold filter ( that I too hacked with the pvc and industrial grade molecular sieve). This final stage additional filter is slightly larger than the primary cotton one but I have blue / pink indicator dessicant sandwiched between the cotton filters. I don't have a Yong Heng pump but a one that is similar...a Yong Heng knock off I guess. Hard to believe the Chinese would knock off their own products but there you go! Had no issues at all but not had my gold filter vertical so maybe I should change that. Also, I like the bleed valve on the end of the tuxing, I think I will try that.... but my final stage with the indicating beads showed 0% moisture at the end of a full charge of a 4.5l tank. Thanks for making the effort to post this!

I have not been able to find the correct part to make the bleed valve work properly so here is what I plan to buy to replace or maybe add to the correct yellow filter I have. For $130 this sounds like a good all in one solution. You may also be able to find it on AliExpress.

I too have the YH compressor and for about the same amount of time and, I too love mine. Yes, a nice new Omega or Daystate compressor would be more elegant but, when you can get these drop-shipped to your door for under $300 (Walmart), why? I can buy 6 YH compressors for less than the MSRP before tax and shipping vs 1 Omega. PS: your channel is coming along nicely. I think your focus on wallet friendly mid-range PCPs is a plus. I've got the money for a FX Impact 700mm barrel but, by buying the Hatsan Hurcules Bully I saved over $1K USD and got a great gun, at a higher FPE and that is comparable in accuracy for hunting purposes. If I were competing for Extreme Benchrest 2019, well I might go for that Impact but, let's face it, 99.99% don't do that kind of shooting so why pay for that kind of accuracy when we will likely never use it?

It's my opinion that with the amount of money being spent at every step of being a PCP air rifle shooter, at least the air pump should be out of the box ready. I did see someone mention that one of those parts now ships with it. I hope so.

Suggestion On the valve on bottom of the gold filter install a tee, put a 2" long pipe nipple and bleed valve on the bottom of the tee to collect water. Connect the fill line from the compressor to the side of the tee. This will allow water to collect in the pipe nipple. This system is used on nateral gas service lines to collect water.

The pistons should be pushing the air through a one way check velve so when it shuts off and on the down strock there is no pressure on the piston. I don’t know about this particular compressor but I’ve never seen a HPA comp. without a check valve directly above the piston. If you ever take the piston head off. Usually incorporated with the burst disk (but not always) the check valve should be just a tiny spring and a fitted price of Deleon directly above the piston.

I use an auto shutoff just for safety in case I'm not paying attention. I saw you get calcium deposits, maybe a little "CLR" in the water when you use it will get rid of the lime scale. Also if oil smell is an issue, you could just get another one or two filters to increase the cleaning effect of the air. I use it for my own scuba stuff. I have four filters including the little tiny one. Cotton, desiccant, molecular sieve, and carbon. Also scuba compressors use food grade synthetic oil, so it isn't dangerous really if there is an issue with some getting in the air. I have a small sailboat, a Catalina 30. I have this compressor tied into our 25 gallon tank with a 1.7 gpm pump feeding coolant water that basically always comes from a watermaker. So the water is blasting through the head compared to the little pump that came with it. Oh I added a vibration hour meter so I know when to change the oil. Another thing I added was a quite long(2x52") whip extension to allow me to fill tanks while leaving the compressor mounted in the cabinet. I also added desiccant filled pvc pipes on the air intake with valves to shut the air off so it doesn't fill the desiccant with water filled ambient air while not in use....since I am on the ocean I need a little drier air to go into the unit in the first place.

The reason that the air in your tank smells like oil is because there are microns of oil that slip past the filters and into the tank under the extremely high compression. The particles are so small they are almost vaporized (gas). If you go to the aquarium section of your local pet store, and buy some activated charcoal and mix it in with your desiccant beads, you will eliminate this. Activated charcoal is used in aquarium filtration systems to remove nastiness before it gets into the fish tank. It's also used in gas masks. It's the best filter in the world! And it's all natural. It probably wouldn't take more than 3 or 4 tablespoons mixed in with your desiccant should completely eliminate that issue. Or you could do separate layers of desiccant and charcoal. Maybe a layer of the desiccant, then a separate layer of the charcoal before it passes through the last cotton filter and into your scuba tank. Just a suggestion.

Normally them separators are a 3 part system. An activated charcoal is one of the three layers in identical separators sold on eBay for it. I need to do more research because I was hoping to pick one of these up for scuba tanks an actual breathing air. Maybe I’ll pick up two of the 2 of the 3 part separators and put them in series and get a third blank one and put cotton at the inlet and completely fill the rest with activated charcoal and a inch or two of the cotton. So it travels a full separator length of carbon.

Hello, I have watched your videos and am very excited and enlightened with the information divulged by you. I too am interested in the PCP air guns and am thinking of investing in the FX Crown sometime later this pandemic subsides. But, unfortunately, I am in India and the PCP air rifle is not so common and neither is Scuba diving as a sport. Thus, getting dry air at 250 Bar is very rare to come by, at best, and non existent normally. So, if I am to pursue the sport, I need to import all the equipment and the accessories!!!!! I asked a local air compressor company (Ingersoll Rand) for the cheapest system that could give clean, dry air at 300 Bar and they actually gave me a quote for a "monstrous" system which would set me back by about USD 31,506/- to be precise, air dryer and scuba tank aside. I was unsure as to whether should I cry or laugh. I seem to have come to a grinding halt.

Can you order from krale sport! They have many FX airguns. You could also purchase a Yong Heng compressor from eBay for around $290. You could find SCBA tanks online. Do they not ship to India? Yes, airguns are lots of fun but very expensive when you consider everything you need to buy to get started. You could buy a $300 Airgun and a $75 PCP hand pump but PCP Airgun uses so much air that you will not enjoy shooting if you have to hand pump your Airgun. I wish you lots of luck

There is a filter made with the bleeder on the side rated to 4500psi. Have you seen it ? The air goes in the top center. Comes out near the top on the side. Bleeder is on the side at the bottom of the air chamber.

I have a question for you regarding your Tuxing water/oil separator. By no means am I challenging what you're doing, but I was curious why you opted to put the molecular sieve inside of a piece of PVC instead of straight into the aluminum tube that comprises the separator? I just purchased one myself. I even went out and bought the PVC and o-rings. Then as I started looking at it, I though to myself that it doesn't seem like the PVC is necessary other than you can visually see how tight the sieve is before inserting it into the aluminum housing. Because when the tube pressurizes, the pressure is exerted in all directions, not just trying to push the material forward in the direction of the air flow. So the PVC seems unnecessary other than allowing you to see and hear that the sieve isn't moving around. But even if it did move a little bit, it still doesn't seem like it would matter, since the moisture cotton and the heavy duty end caps are containing everything inside anyways. I agree that the sieve or desiccant with some activated charcoal is a brilliant idea. But I was thinking that if you went to a hardware store or industrial supply store (or Amazon of course) and purchased some fine stainless steel mesh, and cut the mesh to fit the parameters of the aluminum tube, you could successfully separate your layers of components without having to mix them. The cotton has a lot of dexterity to it. So you don't need precise measurements. Especially if you put some of the SS mesh on each end of the cotton, facing the retainer caps. The retainer caps will compress them to make a tight fit. Also place some small rounds of SS mesh between the layers. The molecular sieve is great for instant water retention. The desiccant is great for long term absorption. The charcoal is great for removing vaporized molecules of oil and moisture. But the desiccant would remove the residual moisture from both the charcoal and the molecular sieve after you're done using the filter. It would slowly pull the moisture from the two aforementioned items. And the beauty of silicon desiccant is it lets you know when it's wet. It usually turns from dark blue to pink when it gets wet. When it gets pink, you can pull it out of the filter, pop it in the oven on 250 degrees for 15 or 20 minutes, and all the moisture will evaporate out of it. You can use it over and over again. You will see the color change back to dark blue. Again, I'm not challenging your concept. It's brilliant. It makes a LOT of sense to me. I just don't really understand the necessity of the PVC pipe in the mix of things. But I love your videos. I've learned a LOT from them. Thanks for taking the time to make them....

The only reason for enclosing the molecular sieve in PVC to to prevent acid leeching from the sieve to deteriorate the aluminum walls and threads which over time could weaken the water/ oil separator. Just a precaution.

I bought this compressor about three weeks ago to fill my new Nova Liberty. I inspected both the rifle, pump and molecular sieve all seemed to be well made and clean. However, The pump manufacture suggested for first run to open bleed valves then with auto shut off set run pump unconnected until it reaches set pressure. So here what happened. The pump didn’t make pressure because the foster valve was bleeding air. So a checked my bench drawer where I keep the spare pump parts looking for a block off probe. So the question is does the foster valve act like the one on my shop air line or need a block off probe. Now that I’am into this I’am even getting more out of this video. Pumped the rifle up short of its max bars for a first test very little time to fill, low temperature and worked flawless. So question block off probe or no block off probe needed? Thanks again.
