Welding CO2 is nasty. Food grade CO2 is better but hard to find. Even shop
grade nitrogen is 99.99% pure. Hospital "zero" grade is even cleaner but who
needs it?

You only need a short hose, since you can take the tank to the tire.

those last few #s take forever. I also have a small 5# tank i take in my Jeep
to air up the tires after a days Off-Roadin.. The small tank has lasted me over
2 years...

No leaks or problems...My new Michlens need 120 psi so now I have to do
something. What psi compressor does everybody use?

compressor?The output gauge on the compressor reads 130psi but wont pump up
tires past 110psi...
