FYI... To source a tank, see if you can find a tractor trailer junkyard. Tractor trailers have LOTS of little aluminum pressure tanks for things like the air brakes, accumulators and such. Many of them are very small too, maybe 1-4gals in size. See if you can find one around 2 gals.

Re: NAC Lots-O- Posts Thread-Part Deux

Work is slow with the economy and such, so I do have weeks where I have off... I dont mind

I dont weld anymore ...I'm a parts guy. Recieve and issue crap to job orders. On occation I weld small stuff if they get backed up. Gives me a reason to use my 300$ auto tint welding helmet

:doh:

But yeah its nice to have access to the steel and welders, I can make stuff... sorta behind the scenes.

"Oh yeah this is for that machine over there" :spin1:

Telegram for Muduck: Bandit is driving a TJ :looser:

Yeah I was going to say...he def doesnt know

ssshhhhh

i was trying to see how long i could keep it under the covers with him:read:

I went to bed before the flaming started :wierd:...
I had no idea that he was driving a TJ. I can see never using a/c on a TJ.

Keith (MDXJ) went to a yard down near him and scored like 3 or 4 of these 2 gal. aluminum tanks a few years ago. They were rated at something like 150psi, plenty of pressure for an OBA, and they were stupid cheap. Maybe $10/ea if that. He gave me one, but I ended up giving it to another friend of mine. That was BEFORE I built the MJ, I kick myself now for giving it away, as I could have used it for the air system in the MJ. Not sure where the yard was that he went to, but it was down in the DE/MD area somewhere. Drop him a PM, I am sure he could fill you in on where to go.
