Well, my first attempt was with N2 instead of CO2.  You get about 1/4 of the
filling capacity with N2 for the same size tank.  I could fill 10 31" tires
with a tank the same size as the PT-10 Powertank.  Yes, N2 does have some
great qualities, but I think that drag racers and Navy Pilots will benefit
more than I ever will.

How much difference is there in using nitrogen instead
of CO2 ? Anyone priced it out ?
Nitrogen has some superior qualities to CO2, but it
may not make it worthwhile if the difference is great.
