Looking on their site, they list a lot of dealers, but none i have heard of and most seem to have not been updated since 2005.

I looked through some, but I didn't know if any of them were reputable companys. I guess I should have asked, where to trust to buy from Haha.

I bought a regular welding 20lb CO2 tank off of Craigslist for $45. Then I just swap out the tank at a welding supply house. No waiting for a tank refill.

Your call.

How did you atatch the hose and such? I have read a few write ups on this but I'm not sure I feel like spending afew hours at the pipe supy store, playing with fittings.

I bought a fixed 150 PSI regulator and a 300+ PSI rated air hose. Then I bought the industrial hose quick disconnects. Good to go.

Example of regulator: http://www.offroadtuff.com/CO2Regulators.htm

Example of mount: http://www.polyperformance.com/shop/CO2-Mount-p-296.html

I had about $150 in the tank, tank mount, hose, and regulator when I did this 2 years ago.

I even use it to inflate my motorhome tires.

Good luck.
