CO2 Tank and Mount

[Fozzy]

Kaiser, I love the rail system idea. How hard is it to get the tank in and out of the track?

Tool box mounted

I could only mount mine horizontally to fit in tool box. It's been a great addition & have used about twice as much as i thought i would.

The vehicle bracket has a quick release that flips open - 15 seconds to get the tank out. Take a look at the metal strap in the middle of the tank in the last pic. That is the quick release.

Removing the bracket from the tracks requires removing four bolts.

After having this for a while, my only gripe is that the handle sticks up a little too far in interferes with my bed cover a little. The neck of the tank is smooth and the current handle clamps on. From the looks of it, a beverage type handle would work. Somthing like this:


The only issue is that the neck of my tank is smooth and all of the handles like this I have seen require a neck that is either threaded or has a snap ring groove.

Any ideas?

This is my Power Tank. 15 lb. it holds 1000 psi of co2, I can run 400 psi at the hose, that's enough to seat a tire or fill about 30 tires.

That looks like a scuba cylinder

It appears that if you remove the handle, it would fit fine under a bed cover and vertically mounted. While it would be nice to have the handle on, the long hose will allow me to reach all four corners anyway, so losing the ease of portablility for me is not a big deal.

Great set up Kaiser, thanks for posting.

Why not use a compressed air cylinder. 4500psi... or a compressed nitrogen tank. Both are about the same cost as c02 and a compressed air tank has greater capacity.

Tanks for CO2 are rated by weight (e.g. 10 lb. tank, 15 lb., 20 lb.) and I don't believe any other tank is going to offer any more capacity of CO2.

As for fitting a 10 lb. tank under a bed cover here's the answer for you:

Another standard product tank mount that will solve the problem. This one's from Powertank:

I just bought a Kidde fire extinguisher bracket for a ten lb tank off Ebay. I can mount it to the inner fender of my truck, so it will be at a proper angle, and has the straps to hold the tank in place. $42.00 with shipping.
