Running DIY Co2 Through a c-160?

Yea, it''l be fine.
You might need to stick a 1/2"(+/-) peice of airline after the L-bow to extend it to under the intake.
Other than that you should be fine.
 
I simply shoved the airline through the slots in the intake screen, and then pulled it up through far enough to get up the tube a little. No suction cups or elbows required. I did however, use one suction cup to keep the airline positioned behind the intake tube, but merely for aesthetics. :thumbsup:
 
Yep. I was interested in seeing the bubbles at first too. After i found out it worked, i was more interested in not seeing the bubbles! Now the only time i look for bubbles is when it gets close to recharge time, and i'll squeeze the bottle to see how much surges through the filter.
 
I see what your saying...maybe once I know it works for a while, I'll just put it in the intake...I just don't know how you would shove an airline through the small intake....(the intake guard or whatever)

It probably wouldn't work for all intake screens... but if you've got a c160, i assume the intake looks the same as my c220, though i could be wrong. It works for them. You just have deflect the slats a little, pinch the tube, and shove it in. The tube will be a little compressed where it enters the intake, but not enough to compromise gas flow.
 
Ok would this work? When I blew from the other side of the tube, air came out....
