Hey, Bob! Gary's right on the money! A tank and regulator will work just fine. :) If you're going to use a tank to "buffer" the air supply from the little compressor, then just about any size tank will do. But if I read your post correctly, and you're planning on charging the tank with...

Good to see you, Dave! :wave: The more the merrier! :D Sorry to hear it, Brakie. I always found your posts on the Atlas forum to be informative. Perhaps some of the upgrades they're making will reduce the number of trolls on the board? :thumb:
