Power Tank CO2 System
Did a search and didn't find too much info regarding the Power Tank CO2 systems. I'm looking at the 10lb Package B System or the Power Tank "Track pack" Package B. The only difference is the pack that the tank and accessories are kept in. I like the idea of being able to carry everything in the bag and keep it out of sight for all the theives that are out there.
Any opinions on the Power Tanks?

I'm glad I stumbled upon this thread. I've also been looking around for good information on one of these systems. Approximately how many air up's are these good for? In my situation I'd be looking for something that could easily handle airing up 8 tires (the wife and I both have JK's) plus be able to handle an impact gun if the need arose. The little information I've found leads me to believe I could easily handle airing up the 8 tires and then some, but how about running an impact gun off one. How long will the tank run one before it dies off?

I have the 10lb model, with the speedbag and I like it a lot. As for number of fill-ups, I took it with me on a recent outing, as I was able to fill my 4 33s, 3 35's, and then 5 more 33s. It was getting pretty empty at that point, and I also started with a not full tank as I had used it to top of mine and my wife's tires a couple of time, as well as my trailer tires.

Here is a pic of me using the 10lb Powertank as the air source of my impact gun taking apart Trailbud's broken rear pinion on the trail during EJS09

You can use use air tool with the powertank with no problem. I have had a powertank for over 5 years now and have done many trail repair with air tools.

This is my second Powertank. I had the 10 lb tank in my TJ which I had set-up to run the ARB lockers as well as refill the tires. I have 37s on my JK so I went with the 15 lb tank this time. I have never had the 15 lb tank freeze up when filling my tires or any other problems with my Powertanks. The only issue with the 15 lb tank is the tight fit when I use the soft top.

I have the 15lbs Powertank. I haven't used it since I got it, but I used an Mpac side rack to mount it. Most of the cost of filling the tanks is the labor to do it, so the price difference between a 5 lbs tank, and a 20 lbs tank is really only a few dollars.
