Question super charger tank won't fill

I just bought a used 1998 super soaker super charger 3019 from Larami. I had thought all the parts were there but it turns out I'm missing the fast fill attachment. I tried just filling the gun from the hose only to get an impromptu shower when the hose slipped off the gun. Is there anything else I can use in place of this part or did I just buy a useless gun?

The most important thing to do, is first figure out what kind of gun it was.

Are there any labels on it, any stickers, or things like that that can help us find out which gun it is? If you don`t find any stickers, then look here. If you see one that looks like your gun (It may not be 1998), then let us know and we may be able to help you

It would help to know what supersoaker it is, but if it's really a super charger, most of em can be filled the normal way, without the quick fill device.(SC 400/500/600)

this one's mine. It says it requires the qfd. That doesn't sound like it bodes well. Anyone know how to make one?

Hmm... If you know how the QFD works, but you'll need diameters and stuff. My friend however, has been able to fill his Splashzookas without a QFD, only a hose.

You can make a QFD yourself, but no one has before. It definitely is possible and I intend to make one myself to make a guide for the construction. This is a very common request I get by email. If you'd like, I could email you once someone posts instructions on how to make a homemade QFD.

Don't get rid of this water gun. It definitely isn't useless. It simply needs the filler.

That would be great, thanks. I tried to fill it with just the hose earlier today, not a pretty sight. When the pressure in the tanks hits a certain point, I can't keep the hose on the nozzle.

Oh, I had a similar problem with my Juggernaut (sawed-off Splashzooka). You just have to angle the hose slightly so that the entire internal diameter of the hose is pressed against the nozzle. You could also try my Juggernaut mod (which should be in the mods section of The Master Site, but isn't.)

Sounds like it would work.

Just wanted to say that Ben's probably saving your article for the major website update this summer. Nothing has been updated since late 2004, as you can see. We're all on our toes though!
