900 psi isnt anything.
when i played paintball my air tank was always at 4500psi and i used a plastic line called - macro line. its just a strong plastic line that is plyable under no pressure.
png - yo udefinetly can use a syphon tube in the co2 bottles. i know this because used to use that as well when i shot a different gun. co2 psi can very on temp. also, NOS at 1300psi is nothing as well. my uncle 8 second camaro he heats his bottles so they release more gas faster.

I guarantee that the output from your air tank wasn't 4500 psi, although the tank pressure was that high. There's a primary regulator built in to the valve that takes it down to less than 1000 psi, and probably a lot less if your gun was set up to run at low pressure (like 300 psi)
Another nitrous myth, busted: Higher pressure in the bottle doesn't mean more power. Here's why:
In a conventional nitrous system, two things control how much nitrous and fuel make it into the engine - pressure and jet size. If your system is set up to have the correct A/F ratio with jets of a particular size at, say, 1000 psi in the nitrous bottle, cranking it up (by heating the tank, or overfilling) to 1300 will only make it run lean, hurting power and probably the engine as well. Nitrous only makes power when there's an appropriate amount of fuel to burn - Too much nitrous, and the engine eats itself, not enough and power falls off as it runs too rich. This is a good thing, because an engine tuned to run best on a full bottle at, say, 1100 psi, will get progressively richer as the tank empties and cools, making it less likely to damage the engine. To prevent a fall-off in power, you can use a bottle heater with a thermostat to keep it at a constant temperature (and therefore a constant pressure) until it's almost empty.
The only exception to the "pressure doesn't make power" rule is when you're limited to a certain nitrous jet size by class rules, in which case many guys will run as much pressure in the tank as they can to shove more nitrous through the motor, and then jet the fuel side to match.
