Funny this should come up.. I just scored a 20lb tank with top gaurd for $55.00 Woo Hoo!!! I gonna have plenty of air!!

 

Where'd you get it Lee?

Right time right place.. Post off the Yankee Toys e-mail list.. I grabed it as soon as it hit the list.. I am close enough to pick it up too!

 

Chris, visit www.powertank.com and read up on their FAQ sheets there.
There is a ton of info on how many tires it can fill, and all kinds of great stuff.

I bought mine from Steve Sasaki, owner of Power Tank.
Steve is also a fellow Toyota dude.
You may have seen his radical 1st gen on the cover of Performance Products catalogs.
He has a Canback top on it that's black, and his 4Runner is red.

If you plan on using airtools such as I do, you need the adjustable regulator.
You set it to 100 psi for impact wrenches.
An impact wrench works best at 90, and you set the reg 10 psi higher than your required pressure as when you pull the trigger, it drops about 10 psi on the gauge.

I crank the reg up to about 150 when filling up tires.
Believe me, it's fast.
Just as fast as a service station if not faster.

 

That's awesome! I'll be doing my research on this for sure.

Another great benefit of the "mighty" CO2 tank is for the time when you pop a tire bead. Just get the tire off the ground (not off the truck) and a quick shot of CO2 @ 200#s will reseat that bead 1st or 2nd try and if the tire didn't rotate much on the rim when the bead let loose, you wouldn't even need to re-balance it.

 

Hey guys, ya there are a lot of options for the tanks...Some things to think about is how you are going to use them...Only for airing up, then you are fine with a PowerShot or Outback Air...They have fixed regulators...If you are looking for something that will run airtools, then looks at something with an adjustable regulator, such as the PowerTank.

Sorry I have not been on here much, I do read the post, however, have been spending a lot of time on the e mail side of things. I do not want anyone here, especially Corey and the mods to think of the forum I set up as any sort of competition with them...Honestly, I do not think there is anyway that I will be able to compete with this forum (I have thought about taking mine down because of that) Corey and the mods have taken a ton of time to ensure an extremely comprehensive forum...Heck I would post here before I posted on my own...LOL

Sorry Mike,
I guess I spoke without being too clear
I was trying to get across the fact that if there was some increased participation in the Xtreme forum than you'd be able to see what the current demand was and maybe work that into your sales.

I guess that would've been hard to get out of my earlier post, huh?

Anyhow, I have to agree that there's no other forum that I spend more time on and who's members I'd rather spend time in the company of. I wouldn't dream of trying to detract from it

My apologies to everyone! :pat:

EDIT:
deleted my previous post

 

Hey bud, I did not think you were trying to do that at all...I just wanted to make sure to clarify the reasoning behind putting the forum up since I had not done it before. No need for apologies my friend

Cool
