Reply:I've used tanks from a junk semi before.  They even come with mounting bracketsUsed an old propane tank for a vertical mount.  Attached compressor to the ring.I've also used standard red 11 gallon air tanks from the hardware store.  Made my own mount and called it good.(and I've welded an old one back up - but many folks understandably do not want the risk)Dave J.Dave J.Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance. ~George Bernard Shaw~ Syncro 350Invertec v250-sThermal Arc 161 and 300MM210DialarcTried being normal once, didn't take....I think it was a Tuesday.

Reply:Personally, I don't mind making the long skinny tanks for myself, no different than the left over pipe I welded for the air in my shop.  Fill with water and hydro test first naturallyNever had any left over fat pipe to make bigger tanks.I know that many are uncomfortable doing this and I am not telling people they should do anything just cause I doDave J.Dave J.Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance. ~George Bernard Shaw~ Syncro 350Invertec v250-sThermal Arc 161 and 300MM210DialarcTried being normal once, didn't take....I think it was a Tuesday.
