How long will a 20# Co2 tank last?

So I was cleaning out my room today and was tossing around the 20# Aluminum C02 tank I've had for years, messn with the dog with it, she goes nuts.. anyways

When I fab up my custom bed I plan on integrating it in as a source of compressed air (er co2). So I can deflate/inflate my tires etc.


Sooo... was just wondering how many air ups a 20# pound tank will get me.. or rather, how long it would last.

I'm gonna totally guess I could probably have it for at least a year before swapping it in for a full one but thats a complete guesstimate.

Moved to Offroad Tech.

Or perhaps we should move it to the Newbie forum.

If that tank is over 5 years old you might have to get it tested first.

Nah... I "own" the tank but when you get it filled, I just swap it for another. So if they want to test it they can.

Its through a local welding supply place here in town. I had originally used the tank on a fish tank (live plants) but that was years ago and don't do that anymore.

And your funny wab =)
