Homemade Co2 tank tire inflator

[JohnyPython]

Hey everyone. I've decided to make my own Co2 tank since they're pretty expensive up here in Canada.

Here is the shopping list:

1. 10lb Co2 tank - got mine local and it is a Catalina brand (made in USA)
Check the DOM - mine was made 10/20

The rest I got from Amazon and it is in the mail currently:

2. 150psi regulator

3. recoil hose 200psi

4. pressure gauge

BTW, I realized that I bought the 50ft recoil hose so I cancelled that and got the 25ft hose.

Yeah, 25 feet is plenty!

So I got all the components and here’s a couple pics. Still have to get the tank filled tho. Tire inflator is good quality. I don’t expect much for $13.

I got the regulator from Preece Precision. They got some neat stuff on their site for DIY tanks. Here is a link to their site:

Forgot to update this thread. Got the tank assembled and filled. Like $25 from a welding supply.

I’m not a fan of the gauge 0-100 is probably enough. I double check the pressure with a separate gauge anyways.

I can’t believe how fast it fills tires. Gotta try it with my angle dumore.
