[QUOTE="Murkman, post: 1034094, member: 16111"] Safety is a big concern. I have witnessed the destruction to a house from a ruptured scuba tank. The damage was unbelievable. Not only was every window in the house blown out but the sheathing was lossened to where the siding had to be removed so the sheathing could be renailed. Sheetrock was damaged and sections of roofing were removed to renail the roof sheeting. A rupture could occur in a vehicle. On the otherhand I have seen a demonstration where the valve on a compressed liquid CO2 bottle was sheared off. There was an initial poof then the liquid spilled out and bubbled away into the atmosphere. No destruction. I have two different systems on one of my jeeps. A quickair 2 and the bottle of CO2. The qiuckair works well enough however is very slow in compairsion to the CO2. The quickair always works. The co2 must be recharged at sometime which means a trip to Kent. Convience works both ways with either system. I also have a YJ whish has a York Compressor. The York works almost as well as the CO2. The diy York cost same as or less than co2 or quickair. Setting up the York was a pita compared to either the co2 or quickair. I think I would rather have the York over either system. The main advantage with the CO2 is it can go whereever I need it whenever I need it. [/QUOTE]
