Small high pressure tank |
|
|
I just visited my mechanic yesterday and had a chat with him. Again, I
noticed a device he has which is a pressurized tank that he uses as a
sort of custom aerosol. He can fill it part way with some solution and
pressurize it up to over 100 PSI and spray from it. I guess it is about
1/2 gallon capacity. It's shaped like a fat version of those small
propane tanks.
I've looked for something like this in vain at my local auto parts store
- Kragen. My mechanic tells me he bought it from a Wurth distributor who
used to visit his shop every month or so. He tells me that he thinks
that Kent may also distribute or make one. He figures he paid around $50
for his.
I want this as a sort of high performance cleaning tool. They were
recommended to me as such. I have the Dust Off stuff they sell at
Costco, but the pressure's pretty weak out of those. I figure I can use
my tire inflator to pump 100 PSI into it, if I can get one. Does anyone
know a good place where I can pick up one of these? I live in Berkeley,
CA. Thanks!

Randy, soon's you get a tire pumped to 100+ psi, let us know, OK?
Report in each time you reinflate it, please; we'll consider
sending flowers.

all auto parts stores here have 5gal carry tanks, 125psi max for about $25
then you'd unscrew the tire inflator end and add a hose end spray nozzle
for five bucks or more.
They also have bigger ones 10gal maybe $35 15gal stand up on hand truck
wheels $49
even the one dollar bargain store here has a bunch of them.

Truck tires are customarily inflated to 100 psi . . .

WalMart and most auto parts shops sell 5 gallon steel tanks intended to hold
about 100 psi . . . you fill 'em up at the gas station, then when your car
tire needs air, you use the attached hose to fill it up . . . Probably cost
ya $25 or so.
Evidently paintball guns use a 3000 psi nitrogen filled tank, I'll bet your
acquaintance is using something like that. To refill, all ya need is a few
ounces of liquid nitrogen . . .
Do a search on eBay for AIR TANK and you'll see lots of possible options . .

Whew, that sounds like very dangerous advice to me - a tyre blowing out with
a 100lb/in or pressure is a very lethal weapon - a guy was killed a while
back when a tyre let go wiht no where near that amount of pressure.
David - who is horrified that someone would actually suggest something so
dangerous

dont bother. some people are here just to find 'flaws' in the ideas of
others and have no interest in facts.

Re: Small high pressure tank |

sigh.
a) lo and behold, some tires are actually rated for 100psi. find a source
for these tires to prove it to yourself.
b) who said you need 100 psi to make a glorified can of air for blowing
dust? specifically when did i say it?
c) lets see your cite for this exploding tire.

Chill...while he shewed lack of knowldege, tires <do> burst rather more
frequently than one might hope...that's why truck tires are remounted in
the heavy cages...to capture potential shrapnel...
It was really much worse in the days of old split rims, but that wasn't
so much the tire exploding as the locking ring not holding... |
