Hold a second there. An air tank holds CFs (volume), but continuous CFMs (flow rate) are not at all a function of tank size......they are strictly a function of motor/pump size. If you are talking about short bursts, then that's a different story......obviously the higher the tool's consumption the larger the tank you need for the same operating duration.
