3 or 5 gallon corney tank?

[redbud]

Im going to buy a corney tank. In you opinion would you go with a 3 gallon or a 5 gallon? I do more flat glass. Some auto.

Thanks for your opinion

Why don't you just make your own 5 gallon and if you don't want to fill it just add 3 gallons?

A five gallon tank, with three gallons of water, will allow for more pressure. Longer work time without re-filling and re-pressure.

I would use 4+ gal in a 5 gal tank.100cc slip. pressurize tank and using 30 or so psi thru the regulator get 25 or so 2 window trucks. My.02 fwiw

thats where the regulator comes in handy.

For flat glass, with just a gallon of solution being able to do a lot of glass, is it worth lugging around the 5 gal or would a 3 gallon one be good.

3 gallons of solution would be more than a day worth of work....unless you use a ton of liquid while working... I can do 8 hours of auto and only use a gallon of slip or less.

I have a 3 and 5 gallon tank. I use both at the shop, but normally only take my 3 gallon for mobile work. I also use between 70 and 100 psi in my tanks.
