I recently acquired a 20# liquid CO2 tank. :cool: I've looked around and can't find a high flow regulator, to be able to run the air tools. :confused: Sun Pro only sells their regulator with a tank. :rolleyes: Unless I just missed something on their site. Any suggestions gang? :confused:

Thanks for the help!!

Road Runner fire equipment in Glendale. They carry the high flow unit from "The Source" often seen in magazines. I use this regulator. You can get your tank filled there as well.

I just picked one up from Mesa Welding Supply. About $45. 0-150psi. Runs air tools just fine but does get a little frosty after airing up all 4 tires.

I have the adjustable regulator from PowerTank. I use it at 100 psi for tools and then run it up to 200 psi for tires...

A bud of mine had a soda/beer tap in his house :cool: that rarely got used. So after we emptied the kegs, he gave up the CO2 tank. :D

By the way; the high flow regulator from Roadrunner Fire Equipment comes with a tank pressure guage all for $35.00. ;)

I first started with a Pre-set 120 PSI regulator that I picked up for $30 from Vern Lewis Welding Supply and a Heavy Duty Hose that ran another 15 bucks or so.
The set-up worked good for 33's and the few $$ I had into it.,
it did get a little FROSTY, (NOT SURE ABOUT AIR TOOLS)
but aired all 4 up in a timely manner,
faster than a portable air compressor without a tank. Heck, it even worked fine with my 35's.
Where I had the problem was when airing up more than one rig, it wanted to freeze up after 4 or 5 tires.
I would say it would air up a 35" tire from 0-30 psi in no more than a 1.5 min.


I now have the Power-Tank "High-Flow Regulator", that thing is fast,
it will do a 35 from 0-30 in 30 seconds FLAT.
BUT, thats also using the "Power-Tank Hose and High-Flow Chuck".
SHOOT, if this thing is turned up all the way it may do internal damage to air tools.

This system I paid alot more for, :eek:
the Regulator retails around $100+ and comes with a 20' 1000 PSI hose,
The Chuck retails about $45. (the chuck is PIMP, has a clip on and guage)
I have aired up my 4 35's and 8 other 33" tires is the same sitting without a problem,
YES it was COLD, and ICEY, but it did'nt stop........

If any one is interested in my old SYSTEM I will sell it (-the tank) for hmm,
How does 25 bucks sound ?
Pre-set Regulator,
I think the HD hose is 20' long, it will reach all my tires on the XJ without removing the tank,
and I will throw in a air chuck.
Shoot, I could even toss it on my tank so someone could try it. ;)
