[QUOTE="ETO, post: 182541, member: 1486"] Been running a 20lb Co2 tank on my trail rigs for years and love it. Its the way to go for an occasional air supply if you can spare the room in your rig to mount it and think your going to ever run air tools. You can blow up tires run impacts, air drills or any other air tool needed beware drills and ziz wheels will go through the tank in a short amount of time but trust me if you ever had to use up a full tank on the trail you have had a real bad day to start with. You can go to your local welding supply store and pick up a 20lb bottle and a regulator setup for around $150-$200 then run to tractor supply get your hose and air fittings and your off running for less than half the cost of the over priced Power tank and have four times the product. Now if your just wanting to pump up flat tires or play with the air pressure offroad and don't have the room for the tank then I would suggest getting some thing like a Viar compressor and a small air tank that both can be mounted out of sight and out of the way. I have a Viar 450 and a small tank tucked away inside my buggy because there is not any room for the Co2 tank in it.
