im interested in running nitrogen

real nitrogen and compressed air are 2 diff things!

lol @ kyle

There is a regulator on the bottle. It's like having a huge air tank.

I had nitrogen, but it gets old having to fill the bottles. Can I ask why you wanna go to it if you already have compressors?

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?

another option, if you just want on demand "unlimited" switch hitting.....build you a little EDC setup.

Nitrogen will get you numbers.... Helium will get you laid.

Nitrogen and Helium are two completely different prices. I'm sure you know. I can have a nitrogen tank filled for about $9.00 and I asked about helium and he said $50 I believe. So i chose nitrogen

yes it gets pretty old filling bottles up. but it sounds so cool when you hit a switch and you hear the nitrogen fill up the tank. i usually only regulated it at 175 but something happened one day and the regulator got set at around 3-400 and my friend blew a bag hitting the front up lol

dont get a cheap regulator either, thats what will keep your tank from blowing up. the hose can be anything really, as long as its rated for what you have the regulator set on.

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.

You need to make sure and get a mount for the tank as well don't just put it in the bed and strap it down with a tie down. And helium is nuts! I ran it a few times in my dakota because the airgas i used was out of N2 so they gave me that for the same price and it was like crack! IT was so vilent. Anyways good luck!

Does helium flow faster? i never heard that there was any difference?

helium is crazy real fast i was told its a smaller molecule so it flows alot better and since its a smaller molecule you'll find every lil leak you have
