A while back I decided that I wanted to install an on board air system using CO2. Eventually I will probably add a redundant system with a York. My initial impression was to buy all the parts myself and save some coin. After doing some research comparing buying individual parts vs. buying the various companies that sell CO2 systems, then crunching the numbers in a spreadsheet (I am the spreadsheet king!) I realized that I could save some money, but not as much as I thought and would end up with an inferior set up.
I knew I wanted an adjustable regulator as I want to be able to use the system for a lot of different uses (i.e. nail guns, air tools, etc.). All the adjustable regulators that I found stuck out really far from the tank and weren’t really designed to be moved around.
After a lot of deliberation, I called Ultimate Air and ordered a Multiforce 15# system. They give a discount to mud members and are a sponsor of Ih8mud. After all the discounts offered by Ultimate Air, the deal really made sense for me.
The package included a new tank, adjustable regulator, air hose w/ quick release air chuck, and tank bracket. I also got the protective boot and a pair of roll bar mounting brackets.
The ordering process was personable and painless. When the package arrived, I was very impressed with the packaging of the product. Everything was packed in new boxes and protected well.
Well, let's get on with the pics. First of all was the tank itself. They are dang good looking. I got the brushed aluminum tank and must say it looks great. Knowing me, it probably won't stay that way very long!
It has a kind of clearcoat stuff over the whole tank portion. The sleeve was a nice addtion and besides adding some protection, makes it easier to set down without feeling like you are going to gouge your tank
One thing to keep in mind is make sure beforehand that there is a place that will fill YOUR tank. You don't want to get one of these nice tanks to find out you can only get exchanges.
