I've only got a 6 gallon air compressor, and as you can imagine it's not very usefull with my impact wrench. I've got a good compressor, but it has no tank. Does anyone know where I could buy a 20-30 gallon air tank? The biggest tank I can find without a compressor attached is 11 gallons...
Where can I buy a large air tank?

It would be cheaper just to get a harbor freight compressor and throw away the compressor....bj-666

how big do you dare go. how about a propane tank like the ones used for a stove or heat they have huge or semi huge ones just get an empty one and put a fitting on the top. or old welding tanks that don't pass anymore (they may not pass for the 5000psi of oxygen buy for the max of 200psi that you put in them they should be fine. look around for things that are not sold as air tanks such as what i listed they may or may not be cheeper.
haha go buy a few $20 tanks from walmart and link them together!

Go to Sears.
Find compressor with the size tank you want.
Get model number/part number.
Go to http://www3.sears.com/ and order tank.

Water heater tank, good for 200 psi. How many of these do you see around?

There is hardly a reason to try to fill a big tank with a little compressor. You are gonna cycle-duty your little compressor to death having it try to keep up.
its a cfm thing.
hit the paper, go to factory auctions....you can score REAL STUFF for cheap.

Water under heat/pressure or air under 200PSI? Have you looked at a tank on one of these? Pretty sturdy, last for years w/o the suggested maint(flush every 6 mos). Of course, I wouldn't p/u the one that has been sitting at the scrap yard for 10 years. Works for me.

What about 3 10 Gal tanks and pipe them together?? Not pretty...but workable for about $150.

Problem with those is they also don't have drains...leading to the links you posted. :gag:
I'm thinking about getting this tank, and just using it's compressor as a backup or for when I need ALOT of air.

It even comes with a magical 5hp motor than only uses 2.4hp worth of electricity!
