The last time I got the CO2 tank filled, the guy asked me why I didn't use Nitrogen instead?
He said that for $21, I could get a 60lb tank filled with nitrogen vs. paying
$20 to fill my 20lb tank. He said the nitrogen was better for air tools (less moisture) and that the temperature in the tires wouldn't fluctuate as much (meaning a more consistent PSI).
Also, with CO2 when it is released rapidly, as in filling tires, it tends to freeze the air line whereas with Nitrogen, I don't believe this happens.
The only thing I can't figure out (once again) :lol: is which tank will fill up more tires/last longer and why? :?
I'll have to find out tomorrow morning the initial cost to buy a 60lb tank of Nitrogen also. :wink:
