Don't know if I'm in the right sub forum but.....I'd like to put together a home made CO2 tank to fill my tires and I'd like to know what route others have taken. Thanks, Mike

You can't make the tank because no one would fill it because they fill them to 2-5k psi. I carry a 20lb bottle with a nitrogen regulator, doesn't freeze up as fast, and a 50' hose with quick connects on the ends. If you mount it, mount if vertically because they freeze up after about 3 tires mounted horizontally. Got about 120 bucks in mine and that's buying everything new.

get OBA on board air and not Co2 get high pressure air, i have one that regulates through my compresser (how tank gets filled) its really easy to setup, i can show pics tomorrow as its dark now but i just turn on the engine flip my switch and the tank gets filled and i do what i want with it, fill tires, air tools, hook up a reserve tank that fills and hook a paintball gun up to it, anything that needs air

You need to run a (servo)? off the battery to the tank where air comes in, that is also hooked up to turn on when i flip the switch, so that opens to allow air to flow in
Then a line runs from my compresser to that (servo)? with a filter and when the servo turns on it allows air to go from the compresser into the tank.
Then i have a out hook up where i plug a hose in and thats where air gets from the tank to the tools used.
Look it up for more in depth details like sizes and stuff i missed like fusebox and other small stuff

OBA is nice but I like my AC and unless you have a big tank running air tools takes forever. I can crank my CO2 up to 250-300psi with my impact and break anything loose.
