Once you become a regular wheeler, airing up your tires can be a pain in the ass!
Since owning my Jeep i have found that the Power Tank is currently the best overall Solution for airing tires back up.
Power Tanks are one of the only few air tanks that I have seen Blow a tire back on to a bead after a bleed out. I have used solution once on the Rubicon Trail and again on Drummond Island.
Any Power Tank package will do.. Starting at 35" tall tires you have the options of:
- 10lbs
- 15lbs
- 20lbs

Can I use a Power Tank to run air tools
Power Tanks are excellent at running air tools. They operate silently, do not require electricity, and are much smaller and easier to transport than most compressors. A 10 lb Power Tank can perform the same amount of work as 400 gallons of compressed air at 150 psi. They also offer about 3 times the energy density of Nitrogen because CO2 is stored as a dense liquid under pressure. Click here for our full air tool usage chart.
Power Tanks are filled with liquid CO2 at various businesses around the country. Before purchasing your Power Tank you should find a local business that can refill CO2 on-site. Contact local Fire Extinguisher Service Shops, Welding Gas Suppliers, Beverage Carbonics, and Homebrew Supply businesses and ask if they refill personally owned CO2 beverage bottles. If they do, great! Even better if they have same-day or fill-as-you-wait services.
Some businesses will collect a group of customers' bottles and send them off-site to be filled. There is a high-chance your shiny new Power Tank will be lost or damaged in this process and should be avoided if possible. Some areas only offer tank exchanges where, like propane, you rent a cylinder and exchange it for a full one when it's empty. In this case, we offer Regulator Kits and you supply a cylinder.
