homemade co2 tank
after doing some research online i was able to find the parts to build a co2 tank.
it's a 10lb. aluminum tank with a offroad air HyperFlo CO2 Regulator and a offroad air 30' Hose with Quick Connects.
i already had the paint, decal, and the tire inflator but the hose came with a basic chuck.
it was alot cheaper than a namebrand one.
what do you think?

NOt to Hijack, but I did this a while ago too. Found a CO2 tank from a fire extinguisher company refilled, and with a regulator and mounting bracket, all for $120. Added some hose and various fittings that I had lying around, painte dthe tank and added some stickers. Not too hard to do and works great.

Word of caution here. The tank MUST be certifiably tested and within the 5yr date of last testing. Otherwise no reputable company will refill it.
Plus if you value your life or the lives of those around you, then be sure to operate on the safe side. They can rupture especially in high heat and CO2 is a very high pressure gas.
