How many air ups per 10 lb. CO2 tank?
How many times can you air up a set of four 33x12.5x17 tires from 15 p.s.i. to 30 p.s.i. with a full 10 lb. co2 bottle. 
Thanx in advance for you responses.

WOW! It all depends on just how full the tank is filled, but IMO Powertank is still a bit optimistic with their specs for the 10# tank. I have a homemade setup and the best I can do is fill 4 285/75 R16s 6 times (24 tires from 17 to 30 psi). However, I can’t always get the full 24 so I just go 5 times (20 tires) and use what’s left in the tank to blow the dust out of the air conditioner vents and the floor boards. Ending that 6th time and only being able to fill 1 to 3 tires 50 miles from the nearest gas station is a real bummer and don't ask me how I know!

I pay $16 to fill my 10lb tank. I was told that any welding supply or beverage place can fill the tank. I found out that the 3 welding shops in my area wont fill my tank, so I have to drive 30 min to a beverage supply shop to have it filled
. But I do love my tank!!! I can fill about 16 35x12.50x15 tires from 10psi to 28psi

Being a CO tank you should be able to get it filled at a local paintball store the refills there tanks, Just a thought. I use my 20oz CO2 tank for my markers and can fill up all 4 tires from 15 psi to about 40psi. it also cost alot less than the 10Lber LOL. My buddy uses a 3000psi HPA tank. its about 48cubic inches and can almost fill 4 tires. his are 31 10.50 15 mine are the stock Sahara 255 75 18 or something along that line.

That looks really intersting. And with the monster valvles it sounds like it's bloody quick....but I'm still not completely sold on them....don't know why though, as they make sense.

Air Gas here in Fort Collins charges $17.11 including all the various taxes and hazmat fees. The tank's hydro date must be good, it must be completely empty, and the regulator must be detached. Leave the bottle on the dock outside the door before entering the store.

That surprises me that you have to have your tank completely empty as moisture could then get in and start rusting the tank.
