Ok, so here’s my write-up on how I put together my C02 tank with a minimal amount of $$$. After reaching the web again and again for parts to make my low cost C02 tank project come to life, I purchased a brand new brush polished aluminum #10 tank for $69.99 + S/H for a grand total of $81.42 from http://www.aquariumplants.com/Alumin..._Tanks_p/t.htm. The tank comes already Hydro tested and is stamped on the tank that is good for five years. I purchased a Western 150lb fixed regulator for $46 at www.airgas.com . I didn’t purchase gauges because the pressure stays pretty much constant in the tank until it is empty, so gauges don't help much. Then I went to Lowe’s and bought a fixed female quick air coupler for the regulator and a 160lb polyurethane Kobalt coiled air hose that wont crack under constant air use since it gets pretty cold from the C02, for the total cost of $23. If you wanted to put a sick looking camouflage decal onto your tank to give it a little more flare, then you can visit www.edecals.com/accents/camo.htm where I purchased mine. That would cost extra in your budget or you could spray paint to the color of your desire to give your tank a little more bling-bling. So the grand total to have your own C02 tank would cost you a total of $150.42. Also, I am in the process on a write-up on how I used a simple/sturdy and cheep way to mount the #10 tank onto your Jeep for less then $10 bucks.
