Nitrogen tank and regulator?
Nitrogen tank and regulator?
Any of you guys have your own tank for suspension work. I know some of you change you own fluid but does any one have their own tank? Where did you get the regulator and tank? How much did it cost? What size of tank and how much does it cost to refill? I'd like to have my own tank setup and was curious what other guys are doing to refill after a fluid change. And yes I know that I could just drive to the local shop and have them fill it but they are a 50 mile round trip and gas ain't cheap
Anybody that has their own set-up and could give a little advice on this?

Yeah I agree having your own stuff is the only way to go. I got the whole setup for about $200 for all the stuff you'll need and that's a 20 cubic foot tank and Regulator from Accu Air and I built my own hose that's my portable stuff and it's bitchen to use in your tires to!

My truck and trailer both have on board compressor's and tanks. What's cool about the Nitrogen is that the pressure doesn't change with altitude and heat and doesn't seep through rubber like air. Air seeps through at a rate of 7 times faster than Nitrogen.iggys-amsoil wrote:Now that looks like a hot setup when leaving Pismo.

Thats what I wanted to hear, I was hoping it wouldn't cost a fortune for the initial equipment.
About how many shocks can you recharge on a tank that size? Whats it cost for refill?

I don't know how many but, it's alot. I can't even tell you how many times I've had to refill the little bottle in 20 years my bad that's a 55 cubic foot bottle in the picture and I think it's about $20 to refill but, that's what you want. I also do my own Downhill shocks and have six kids that all ride and my customers as well so I've used mine a time or two...

Hmmm..... not a bad idea as I do get tried of checking the front tire every ride.teemtrubble wrote:My truck and trailer both have on board compressor's and tanks.
