Hello all, I am looking for a 4500 PSI compressor that would be capable of filling a 6.8L tank.

The main thing to aim for is reliability.

The smaller, cheaper compressors out there (Yong Heng, or like the one in the picture) can overheat if you run them for too long, or don't otherwise set up additional cooling.

My compressor is like the one in the picture. When I fill a big tank I do it on cycles. Run the compressor for 2 minutes, shut it off until cold (usually another 2 minutes).

Another thing to budget for is you'll probably want to get a water vapour trap. Those cost nearly as much as the compressor.

You can find them for reasonable prices on Amazon and Ali Express, although the gold standard still seems to be the Alpha filter.
