I want CO2!

[Halboo]

I want to invest in a small CO2 outfit for re-airing my rig.
Any ideas who has a nice package, reasonably priced?
Thanks

I bought my set up from Wheelers, but if you know what you're doing you ccan build it yourself for much cheaper.

I have a Powertank, but after I purchased it I found out these are cheaper and just as good quality http://www.ultimate-air.com/

We got this:

from this guy:

We've been very happy with it. It's the same thing I was going to build locally, for about $50 less. He must get a good deal on the tanks somewhere.

It's fully adjustable & hasn't frozen yet, I've filled 12 tires in a row w/no problems.
It's not as pretty as a powertank, but for less than 1/2 the price, totally worth it

I've 10lbs from http://www.ultimate-air.com/. I use the regulator for N2 with an adaptor. In my experience, tire fill with CO2 pressure vary more than tire fill with air/N2 and they loose pressure faster. YMMV

I have this one from PolyPerformance: http://www.polyperformance.com/shop/product.php?productid=57&cat=11&page=1

It's a 150 psi fixed regulator. I have the 15 lb tank. It comes with a bracket.

It has worked great for the 2 years I've had it.

We run a powertank 10lbs setup. Ultimate air is a little cheaper but comes with a slower valve.

I put mine together for under $100. I got a used 10lbs tank from a local welding shop, reg and bracket off eBay, and hose/fittings from Home Depot.

Also try your local fire extinguisher fill store. I practically got my tank for free. $30 with new inspection and fill! The guy had a stockpile of tanks from people who never picked them up.

I had the 150psi fixed reg with the 45 degree output and I managed to freeze it up on a couple occasions.

It did reseat beads like a champ! Came to the rescue on several occasions.

Don't waste your money on a regulator with a tank pressure gauge, all you need is the output pressure gauge.

The tank pressure will stay constant regardless of liquid volume about 300 psi for liquid CO2 if I remember right. So your tank pressure guage will read the same if you have 1lb or 10lbs of CO2 left. In other words it's worthless.

I've got a home-grown CO2 setup that I'll be putting up for sale sometime in the not-too-distant future. 10lb tank (it's even painted Expedition Green!), dual-gauge regulator (tank pressure isn't entirely worthless, as it'll give you an idea of what the temperature of the tank is, with the tank warm, it'll read about 1000psi, with it cold, i.e. after a fresh fill, or after a lot of hard use, it'll read about 500psi.) Fully adjustable. Comes with regulator and tank. Hose and fittings not included, but you can get a hose & fittings kit for about $15-20 at Sears for a good one, or about $10 at Harbor Freight for a crummy one.

Takes about 30-40 seconds to fill my 32s from 16 to 42psi.

Tank will be shipped empty. $120+s/h.

The old, red, tank is pictured. Regulator is the same. I'm upgrading to a 15lb tank, and installing a compressor based OBA.
