Add on accessories later as you can afford them. This is a 10# system; the most popular size that we sell. We call it a 10# system because that is how much CO2 gas it can hold when full.

Wish I could use my 40% off coupon with Iron Pig from Powertank on this buy as  a extra discount.

[MarylandFJ1]

You might be able to.  What you have is a Manufacturer coupon.  So they reimburse Iron Pig.  Not 100% though

[Volley]

Yowza!  That's pretty good pricing!  Wish it were in my budget right now   

[Mountainclimber]

I saw Beto air up Erik's tire (Big A$$ Tire) in about 15 seconds. It was then I decided I needed this. Plus I can use my air tools.

Looks like Package B is the best bang for the buck. I'm in for one.

Tim, call them. You might be able to use that coupon.

I've never seen this good of pricing anywhere on the real PowerTank products.

Is it a problem getting these refilled w/ CO2? I've heard talk that some places are nicer than others about it.

[MarylandFJ1]

ask Doug

[Gone Walkabout]

ask Doug

Isn't Doug the one who has has been carrying around an empty tank for a year?

Most places that refill co2 only swap tanks. That means you give them your tank and they give you someone else banged up keg cylinder. I have a 20 lb co2 bottle already. I would just need the regulator.

[MarylandFJ1]

Yup... that's why I say ask Doug

[Doug Dobrynski]

Yeah, I figured when I bought it I had a couple of places close by that I would probably be able to get it filled at.  Robert's Oxygen and Pev's Paintball.

Went to Robert's Oxygen and they only swap CO2 tanks.  Wasn't too hip to swap out my nice shiny tank, plus there was a piece of literature that came with the tank saying "DON'T LET THEM SWAP OUT YOUR TANK".  So next was Pev's.  I know they do CO2 all the time.  I get out there and they don't have a floor scale for that size tank.  They only do the smaller ones.  So I was going to have to take a drive to find someone to fill it up.  Time never really permitted a run somewhere just to have the tank filled.  So it sat empty and neglected.

Then!  Kegerators and the market for them started going gang busters.  Pev's quickly learned this would be another business avenue for them to take, seeing that kegerators need a CO2 tank.  And they are usually 10-20 pound tanks.  So I revisited Pev's and was able to finally get my tank filled.  And she performed wonderfully and she poured out some nice cool frosty air for me to air up.  She is no longer empty and neglected.

[garrison]

Is it just me or does it seem like alot of money for a co2 tank and a pressure regulator.

[MarylandFJ1]

It's not just you.  But the regulator alone from Powertank is over $200

[garrison]

Ouch, I guess I'm just used to buying regs for paintball guns, you can get a nice one for around 50

[smokenjoe]

wouldnt a scuba shop refill them?

[Doug Dobrynski]

Not sure they do CO2, not something you want to be breathing in underwater.

The one by me only does Oxygen and Helium.

[4Rocker]

I hear that having a good regulator is the key to a successful CO2 tire inflator setup.  I guess some regulators will actually freeze up because they get so cold when decompressing.  From what I am told, the powertank regulators are designed not to freeze, so I can understand how they might be worth the money.

Then!  Kegerators and the market for them started going gang busters.  Pev's quickly learned this would be another business avenue for them to take, seeing that kegerators need a CO2 tank.  And they are usually 10-20 pound tanks.  So I revisited Pev's and was able to finally get my tank filled.  And she performed wonderfully and she poured out some nice cool frosty air for me to air up.  She is no longer empty and neglected.

Man do I want a kegerator.  On the list of things to do...

Good call on Pev's came around as kegerators are a huge business right now especially with the growth of microbrews and home brewers now.

[Mountainclimber]

For CO2 its all about the regulator. Run some air tools or fill a lot of tires and many regulators will freeze up. PowerTank claim their's won't. Interesting regulator setup they have. I've talked to some folks that have PowerTanks and they swear by them and wouldn't use anything else.

Most welding supply outfits have taken care of me in the past. I buy all kinds of stuff from welding supply companies. Paint markers, safety equipment, grinding wheels, etc..

 I asked Recon FJ where he gets his Power Tank filled and he told me that he uses the welding supply shop near Koons Honda in Manassas. I-66 & VA 234. He also said it was <$20.00.

[garrison]

I wonder why the didn't go with nitrogen.  Tire pressure doesnt change from temperature variance and a single regulator is all you need.  Its so good that when we sell a nitrogen fill up in the shop it comes with a road hazaard warranty.  I upgraded my air setup on my pb guns from co2 because of the freezing.
