I think he's talking if you have one of the big **** tanks you could use it to fill the 20lb tanks but you're not really saving any $$, just saving a couple trips to the gas shop. Mine is about a mile from me so it's no big deal. KO, do you use any kind of special regulator or could I use the regulator I'm using for my welder?

You can pick up the fittings you need to make it work for cheap at most paintball supply places.

ohh ok, cool, ive seen guys using 10-40 lb bottles for it as well

here ivan....these are the folks i got all my junk besides the tank from
http://www.offroadair.net/products2.html

this is the reg i run....i got it because it wont freeze, and it flows some serious air, and the gauge is a nice peice too...its an oil filled gauge that goes from 0-600...i woulda went with the 150psi fixed regulator...but i wanted to be able to adjust the output to use whatever i needed. because this is my onlny source of compressed air down here at school

i also bought their mounting bracket because its a high quality peice and it works good...it hasd a place for a padlock as well




i did a ton of research before i bought my setup...and i was tempted to just get a regulat welding regulator....but i saw thatwhen the ice that forms on them, that it tends to screw up the diaprams inside. also they dont flow as much as these regulators do

I saw a F-150 with all sorts of decals for VMAC and how it was equipped with a 150 CFM air compressor!

So, I decided to check the web site listed on the truck:

www.underhoodair.com

Just posted it here instead of starting a topic for one web site.

Yea, looks like a dist. only thing. The only thing I do not like is it automatically releases tank pressure with the vehicle off, though that could be overcome with a switch I imagine.

All this should take to fix is a check valve between the compressor and tank.

Ivan I see you got it muddy. How did it work? I was looking at your crossover steering. I am trying to do the same with my F250 with a D44. I have 11-12" of lift.
