on my truck, but I have a few ?'s. Where do i get a tank? how much do they cost? (about),how would I hook it up to my already existing system? ( 8 gal tank 8 1/2" port, 3/8" smc's, 2 viair 480's) what other accessories would I need besides the tank, and tank mounts?

rent the tank about 8bucks a month 300 to buy it nitro regs are about 100 and just run a check valve into the tank and your ready to rock

Hey man I had a bottle in my truck that Iam not running anymore. I have the regulator,thick ass hyd leaderhose, all the fittings, and a check valve to put in between the tank and the bottle to sell. Hit me up if interested.

make sure u put a closeable valve (like a ball valve) between ur air compressors and airtank. the psi from the nitrogen will ruin the viair check valves.. thats if they didnt take a shit on u already

im asking, but im dumb here...


your nitrogen tank runs into an air tank? i never would have guessed, ive never seen an air tank on a nitrogen truck now that i think about it.

im guessing you put the check valve to not allow back flow, but does the check valve control what amount of pressure actually goes into the tank? Is the fill QUICK, or a slow "leak in" like a compressor?
