I have a question about mounting a CO2 tank. I have a CO2 cylinder that is set up for my onboard "air" and has worked well, but I do not have a real good mount for it. I was thinking about fabbing up a mount to install it laying down, but was not sure if that would cause a problem with the regulator or the release of the CO2. I know that if I mount it laying down I will need to fab up something to protect the regulator, but was not sure if it was a good idea to mount it this way or not. :dunno: Any advice or ideas are appreciated.

Thanks-

you can store it horizontally, but you will need to place it in the vertical position when using it

You can always use the Grainger Fire extinguisher Mount if you have enough room. Here is a bad pic.

I mounted mine to the driver side "wall"

Tyler - you can kinda see mine here, it's a bracket from Source CO2, mounted to the side where the factory spare was. I used the "shelf" to prop up the bracket and screwed it into the thicker metal where the spare was attached.

I bought my setup used, but the vendor for Source is www.offroadairstore.com.

Here's their brackets: http://www.offroadairstore.com/servlet/Categories?category=Tank+Brackets

I bought a 15lb CO2 tank bracket from Airgas for $40.
