anyone know where to buy a cheap 2-2.5 gallon compressed air storage tank? looking for a tank like viair...have read you can find them for around $20 but haven't had any luck

TIA
 
Go to a small tool repair/compressor repair shop in your area. A lot of them have old broken compressors with air tanks attached that they will sell cheap. That is how I got mine.
 
I got mine off a semi trailer at work that they were scrapping, you could go to a salvage yard and get them cheap. brand new they are not very expensive either ($60-$70).
 
A lot of mini trucker magazines have them for dirt cheap too. And you can get them in all sorts of shapes/sizes. Even chrome plated if it floats your boat.

www.airbagit.com also has some pretty cheap ones. Steel powdercoated 9 gallon one for $59, not too shabby.

EDIT: Lol well after checking out harbourfreight, I think they take the cake...
 
craigslist ought to have plenty of used scuba tanks..... but then I'm in california..... we have a lot of divers here...
 
Thats great if you can find a place to mount them up-side down so you can drain the moisture out!
