I have been playing with this idea ever since I looked into running a corny tank over a pump sprayer.

While I just pieced this thing together a few days ago. I am currently testing it to see just how safe it might be.

And I was wondering if any of you guys have messed with charging your corny tanks with Co2 instead of compressed air.

I made this out of an old remote line I had for my paintball gun. And modified it to charge my corny tank.

After about a 30 sec to 1 min charge it had enough preasure to use over half the water in the tank before it really lost a workable preasure.

Any input on using this good or bad would be great. If this seems to work I also have a small compressed air tank that hold 3000 psi as well. Not that an air compressor doesn't work, but this thing charges a tank crazy fast. :thumb

Seriously? I guess its alot heavier than air? How much does that tank cost? It only takes a couple minutes with a cheap compressor and its not like you fill it everyday unless you making bank :D. If it works for you though then thats what matters :spit

thats just the reason for doing this. Some jobs I'm on minutes count. And it can take a cheap compressor about 5 minutes to charge my tank. This way for real just a few seconds.

The Co2 tank costs about 5 to 8 dollars to have it filled depending on the size of the Co2 tank and where I get it filled. The thing with Co2 is that it is unlike air in the sense that it continues to expand as you use up water from the tank. Not that this may be practicle for everyone. If it proves to be safe. Then it is for sure a faster way to charge your tank.

Go High Tech ... and get a small regulator ...set it to 50lbs. and make a bracket to strap that C02 tank to the side ...constant, consistent pressure

Installing with seltzer water ...might be on to something ...might be onto making a giant club soda :beer

Thats why I put this on here. To find out if anyone had ever tried this before. I also have a compressed air tank that would charge my corny as well. However I am alittle scared to try it. My C/A tank hold roughly 3000 P.S.I., and I'm not realy sure if it would even be safe to try to charge my corny with. Or if it might blow the dam thing apart. Using the Co2 doesn't seem to make my slip all foaming if thats water you are thinking about the seltzer. I just like the tought of an almost instant way of charging my corny instead of waiting 5 min's for the compressor. At the same time I don't want to blow the side out of my tank. :deadhorse

      IR or UV Coating on glass.

      The coating can be removed by "dry scraping" with stainless single edge razor blades, but it is very time consuming and tedious. The coating comes off like a super fine powder. If done correctly there is no damage to the glass and you can tint it just fine after a thorough cleaning. I scraped the drivers door clean after making the mistake of scratching the coating but I did not scrape the passenger side. After tinting you could not tell the difference between the two.

      IR or UV Coating on glass.

      Sure looks like auto glass technology is advancing. I remember the coating on Lexus and some Toyota models could be removed with a glass polish. It took some effort to get to the glass itself and that was an anti-fog coating technology. This IR/UV coating is looking like it is more robust. I wouldn't want to be the one experimenting with whatever product to attempt removal of it. The UV rating is 99%+ reduction, but they limit what they say about IR performance to: Mitigates sense of intense heat on the skin ... Controls rising cabin temperatures. The link is to a company that apparently is deep into providing glass with this coating and they certainly limit info. Take a look for yourself. This appears to be something that could/would expand to more brands/models. It sure is going to put a new slant on selling film and installing film to cars. https://www.cgc-jp.com/products/search_category/automotiveglass/ircut.html

      We run our hand across the glass since you can feel the coating. Basically, if it does not feel like normal glass, assume it has the coating.

      IR or UV Coating on glass.

      I'm sure you are aware of this problem - that Lexus and some other manufacturers decided to install this super sensitive coating to the inside of the glass, that cannot be razor scraped at all. I had one a couple years ago and I had no idea what I was getting into you, and figured it was a one-time deal where the manufacturers realized what a stupid idea it was, & wouldn't do it anymore. Well, a week ago I had a brand new all electric Subaru SUV. It had the exact same thing on the front 2 windows - IR or UV coating that cannot be touched ! Didn't know about it & gouged the coating with my razor blade ... SO ... Does anyone know or have access to some sort of a complete list of these vehicles? I was informed by my sales rep that anyone using the core software from Llumar gets these notes about potential problems with the software - I don't understand why all Llumar dealers don't get the same updates. I was completely unaware of this and it's going to cost me quite a bit of money to fix it because even though I didn't do anything wrong, it did happen at my shop!

      Reveal Molding/Belt Moldings

      If you have that many, trace a pattern and send it to DAP. They are super quick about scanning and uploading patterns. I have done this with a few custom patterns.
