Answer 1

I bought one of these crossfire 68/3k fiber wrapped tanks a month or so ago for my bushmaster/defiants and I really enjoy how it performs for the price tag. I've used crossfire for my hpa tanks for quiet some time. Pbreview.com has reviews over it for you to check out. Take care

Answer 2

Try using an old water heater tank. I did. Mine is 40 gallon. I planned on pressurizing it to 125 lbs, so I tested it to 200 lbs hydrostatic pressure (that's using water to test, it's safer). The tank I used was tested to 225 lbs without any problem. Now I routinely use it for an auxiliary tank. BUT BE SURE TO HAVE IT TESTED TO ONE AND ONE HALF TIMES THE PRESSURE YOU ARE GOING TO USE IT AT NORMALLY. AND DON'T UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TEST IT WITH AIR PRESSURE. If it pops open, you could have an instant 500 horse power rocket motor flying around your garage. And they can do a lot of damage.

Fortunately for me, I work in a place where we build water tanks - 90,000 gallon tanks that work at 1500 psi. I have access to the testing equipment. However, if you fill your tank full with water then test it with air pressure to at least 200 lbs (and I fully expect it to hold up), you should know for a certain the tank is safe to use as a regular air tank at 125 lbs.

Most power tools run on 90 to 100 lbs air pressure. My compressor can't sustain my air tools alone. That's why I opted for a larger capacity storage (water) tank. It works well. And since I work in a welding shop, I was able to fashion legs and mount wheels so I can move it around easily. It's not considered portable, however, you don't need to hire a crane to move it.

Answer 3

try Menard's, Lowe's, wal-mart or if you have Fred's dollar stores they have them, most hardware stores carry them, depends on the size you need, and volume of air, you want,
harbor freight also has them, you should find a tank for less than $50.

Bought one(20 gal.) @ Walmart. Portable, you fill it & carry it with you. $25 to 50.
