I went to the auto parts store yesterday to get some oil, an oil filter, some windshield washer fluid and an air tank. I have wanted an air tank for some time because I am getting a little sick of filling things up with a bicycle tire pump.
I went to AutoZone in Beacon, NY because it was pretty close to where I was. They had everything I needed, which was nice. I grabbed everything and the last air tank.
On the way home from work, I stopped off at the local gas station to get some air. I used the self-service air pump off to the side of things. I guess I got about 55lbs of fresh, clean, clear stuff into the tank. That’s ok, but the tank can handle 125lbs. I lost a little because I was fiddling with the attachments. Oh well.
It seems as thought I got this tank just in time, because I arrived home to see two tons of wood pellets sitting in the driveway. Yeah, I would need the wheelbarrow for that. I used my new tank to fill up the tire and went to work.
Adiós.

I have been debating buying an air compressor or buying a carry tank. What made you choose to buy a carry tank instead of a whole compressor?

I have both. The tank is pretty much useless without a compressor to fill it up with. It does save me time going to fill up a flat tire that is out of reach of my compressor’s hose. But I mainly use it for compressed air to clean computer parts. At almost $5 a can for that stuff..this is a dream. Put an air nozzle on it and spray away. Also good for air powered septic line cleaners. They use a jolt of 70 or 80 lbs to blast a clog loose. It has MANY uses, but without a compressor I dont see the point?? I dont want to drive for 5 miles each time I fill it up..because it dont last that long. If you DO go that way, but the biggest tank you can find and afford. It will save you a lot in gas driving in the long run.
Good luck to you.
