I have been wondering about those for a couple months now, are they refillable or are ya gonna pay out the butt everytime you need a bottle

99% sure thats a refillable paintball tank, 14-20 oz. probably.

Threaded to a tire inflation end and you are good to go...

No idea how many tires it would fill. Not sure how the Lowes one "regulates" as I don't see a regulator on there per se. That would only really matter for air tools, anyways. Which I wouldn't run off CO2 unless I had a good filter.
 
im wondering if theyre like the paintball c02 tanks. If so im all set up to fill them and have quite a few laying around. Im going to stop and look for one today.
 
yup looks like the 9 ounce tank....... Wonder if you could fit a 20 ounce???

yes it is a 20 oz paintball tank by catilina cylinders.on a paintball gun you get 500-800 shots on that tank.I wouldnt think it would even air up one 33" tire?
CO@ and compressed air are 2 different things and different pressures.
 
Ya thats what i was thinkin too. Not bad to have on the trail.

Thats the thing, you've got volume and pressure. You may get 800 shots at 800 PSI each shot, but if your only airing a tire up to 35 psi? I don't know the answer, but I do know it's not straight forward. Lots of conversions involved. Then the temperature drops 40 degrees and the calcs will all be different, good old CO2.
 
On that same line, I've been wondering about something along this line:

Maybe not for filling a tire, but what about running a impact? Would it last long enough for one tire change? I run one of these on my paintball marker and it last a whole lot longer than a 20 oz Co2 tank. I'm getting too old and fat to run around and the tank is just sitting there..... Hmmm....

I might be way off base.... Wouldn't be the first time.

its a question of volume not pressure the tire will never reach 800 psi but will that little tank hold enough co2 to fill the tire, i doubt it

with CO2 it will drop off as it fills very rapid.and like stated above it also depends on air temp outside/bottle temp/ siphon or anti-siphon tank/alot of factors!!
I would stay with compressed air/air compressor
 
Gerr said:
impacts use a lot of cfm, and the iceing that happens with co2 is terrible for them

X2, I ordered my Ultimate Air with the high flow reg to run air tools, the hi-flow reg was a good idea but running air tools just doesn't cut it with co2.
 
As i am old and feeble and live in co i am on portable oxygen a bottle of ox the size of a 1 liter soda bottle holds 6 cu liters on ox at 2000 pounds of pressure , if thats any help
 
Ive been trying to convert but I can't find the info for volume I need. I do know that 1 ounce of dry ice will "create" 1 cubic foot of gas. Anyone know how much liquid CO2 is needed to make 1 ounce of dry ice? Thats 1 cubic foot at atmospheric pressure, dunno what it would be at tire pressure.

This is why I don't like chemistry:huh:

For another $100 or so you could buy a Ultimate Air 10# from Detours.

True.... but I already have this tank sitting around the house. My dream is to put a Kilby onboard air system on my heep, but with one in college and one a senior in high school (and going to college) the funds are just not there for toys like that. :D

I'm just not sure if the tank I have has enough volume for an impact. I'm not worried about the pressure. Guess I have to jury rig something up and try... I thought some of the guru's on this board might have already done the math....

BTW, the tank I was talking about runs on compressed air not Co2 for clarification.
