Possible air option?

[polarweasel]

Jody's setup has a fixed-pressure outlet, but you can choose what pressure you want when you order. He also sells a plug-in 90psi fixed regulator. I've got that, and it's a nice setup. 150 psi for tires, 90 psi for tools.

Spun-aluminum tanks aren't any nicer than steel ones. You really don't want to drop either one! And ctually, about half the time I trade in my tank at the welding shop for a full one, I get an aluminum tank. They're all the same diameter, so they all fit in my mounting bracket without having to adjust it.

How many cubic feet of air are in a 285/16?

You can approximate it by assuming a tire is a toroid. Possible with and without directly using calculus. 4crawler has some useful info. I bookmarked a bunch of math pages and spent a couple hours with it a few months ago. Can get a little "detailed".

Thank you for pointing me in that direction, and yes "detailed" would be the key word for the math challenged such as I. I sometimes can get cylinders that are rated for 2216 and hold 44-45 cu. feet and was wondering if using one was an option! Thanks again for the link!

I must have slept through the "toroid" lecture!

Jody sold his tank business to another Mud member.
