Co2 mounting position?
Hi All,
I just picked up an offroad air Co2 system and now the fun of getting it mounted. Has any one come up with a trick place to mount it in a two door. I was looking at mounting it horizontally in the trunk but it takes up a bit of space. I really want to carry it with me at all times. I always like to be prepared for anything. (met alot of women patching tires). Any ideas will be helpful, pics would be even better.

Here is the kit I bought.
http://www.redrock4x4.com/shop/products/539.html
They call it a number ten tank it weighs about 17lbs empty and is about a foot and a half to two feet high. I have been looking at the bar but it seems really tight and somewhat screams steal me. Well at least I bought black.

CO2 mounting
I mounted my 15 Lb CO2 tank like this with the clamps from "Power Tank". The clamp part numbers are "ABC-2450" for black or "ABC-2350" for red.
Quoted word for word from Power Tanks web site.
“Can it be mounted sideways?”
A: Yes. It can be mounted sideways or even up side down but the tank must be upright or at least at a 30-degree angle while being used. The reason it must be upright during use is because you want the liquid at the bottom of the tank and the vapor at the top coming through the valve and regulator. We highly recommend that your Power TankTM be mounted in a vertical to 45° minimum angle position so it does not need to be removed from its mounting bracket for each use and so it is never mistakenly used in a horizontal position. In an RV, storage sideways in the cargo hold is fine.

CO2 mounting
Could not tell you without contacting Power Tank directly. The best solution for mounting "Source Air's" CO2 bottle would be to contact them directly. My opinion which may be wrong is that the mounting position would not matter as long as the bottle is near vertical during operation.

Thanks for the info guys but not my first goat rodeo with a CO2 tank. The only thing is you guys are killing me with the four door. You have so much space on your roll bars that just doesn't exist on a 2dr. I do appreciate all of the feedback tough, the wheels are still turning trying to figure out a good place for it.
