co2 tank.
Heres a link to my mounting picks. This is my short term solution until I can figure out a better place to mount it. I ran the straps through the loops connected to the seat. Any comments good or bad or ideas of alternative places to mount would be greatly appreciated.

Take this for what it is worth.....I sell Co2 for a living, I know first hand what the dangers are. I have seen what damage can occur if not handled properly.
Co2 is a liquid gas, under pressure it will remain a liquid, but the pressure will vary depending on temperature. A #20 tank @ 72 degrees will run at about 500 psi. Should you get in an accident or even come off a rock the wrong way and the tank not be properly secured, you are looking at a mini missle. Should this hit you it will most definately ruin your day.
I have seen where a car was rear ended and the impact knocked the valve off, the tank went through the trunk wall and into the dash of the car.
Another potential problem, Co2 is heavier than oxygen, should you have a leak in the system and have your top up it will dissplace the O2 in the Jeep and you will fall asleep possibly die. I do not think there would be enough Co2 in a #20 or smaller ti kill you, but it would put you to sleep and once again ruin your day if this happened while driving.
Just wanted to throw this out there.....again, take it for what it's worth or ignore....

I am planning on only using/carry the tank when offroading. Also i dont remember where but i herd somebody say that the tank must be upright to work. This seems logical but is it true.
If you have the tank on its side or upside down you will be withdrawing liquid. You will not only freeze the valve but if it gets in your tire it could overinflate and burst at worst, at best it would freeze the rubber compound of the tire and rruin it.
I am probably going to buy the hyperflow reg as well. I was also planning on running like 25 or 50 feet of hose and not have to carry the tank around but since i have yet to find a bracket that will fit my foll bar for a reasonable price i will have to take the tank out. Is there any adverse effects caused by running co2 in your tires?
