Self filling breathing air bottles

I am looking for low cost ideas for a transfer tank setup in the trailer , what is everybody doing ?

 

Go to your local scuba shop and get a tank. They are only about 3 feet tall and not that expensive to refill. Bottles need certs every so-many-years but ours just did a tank exchange. Once the word gets out in the pits that you have one everyone will be coming over for refills.

hey, buddy 2 ways to do this

chi town products http://www.chitownraceproducts.com/cgi-bin/catalog.cgi?Safety_Equipment will get you a tank and hose, plus add 30.00 for a fill at the scuba store total of about 460.00 plus shipping

or


get on craigslist and get a good steel tank for 25-50 dollars,i bought 4 at the swap meet for 25 apiece in great shape. pay 50 or so for a hydro and fill, then get a used scuba regulator and valve or less than 50.00 and get a cga-326 fitting for the air bottle. http://www.regulatortorchrepair.com/store.php/products/cga-326-nut-and-nipple use a adapter between the line and fitting.
I put a valve between to regulate the filling speed, and use the mouthpeace to bleed it off when you are equalized filling. you will get 5 total fills in a simpson bottle tops, so 2 tanks are a good idea for
a long weekend.

if you want some pics I can send you some of mine to make it easier. nitrobandit1@yahoo.com


if you go price a new aluminum tank,reg and lines at the scuba store, the prices are ridiculous. used will work fine for this stuff.
