Re: Mods Too Expensive - Air Tank

I know that with 2.5 gallons you can reseat a bead....but reseating beads is about volume, not pressure.

Not a silly question at all....I don't know the answer either.....It's hard to say if a single 5 gal. tank would fill all 4 tires, but it would depend on what you run for street pressure, and the size of your tires (and how long you want to wait, as well as internal tank pressure vs. tire's internal pressure).

More importantly, can your compressor keep up with the air tank? In order to keep any appreciable pressure AND to not take FOREVER to fill the tires, you're going to have to hook a compressor up to the tank. Just filling the tank before you leave on the trip is probably not going to cut it (if that was your plan). That means you'll need a high quality compressor....especially to fill a five gallon tank.

HTH,
Sean
