C02 Regulator advice

[off-roader]

Rolling around in the toolbox,

Do you mean you disassemble your valve from your bottle and store just the valve in your toolbox?

If you have a high pressure tank in your passenger compartment you should remove the regulator when you're not using it. If something were to hit it and break it off the tank, you wouldn't want to be in the vehicle with it. Though I don't recommend just having it loose in a tool box.

I know it's an ancient thread, but yes, regulators will "wear out". Mainly the diaphragm will weaken. But seals can eventually leak also.
If you're interested there's a shop I know of over in Snellville that rebuilds regulators. I've spoken to them on the phone and they seem to know their stuff.

+1 recommendation for the Powertank regulator. Amazing performance, well worth the $

I run "the source" setup. Haven't had the regulator freeze on me. 15psi to 45psi

This is what I got. Works great. http://eastsidecustomtruck.com/i-61362-hyperflo-fixed-regulator.html

I found this regulator and was wondering if I can use it for a CO2 tank or other compressed gas to air up tires. I didn't have time to read this whole thread, but can get on again when I'm off work.

Co2 pressure wise is in the thousands and super cold now 150 is fine but I fill my tires up at 300 to make it quicker.

Just a general statement....
