| Hi Vern.
My concern about using air as opposed to C02 is condensation (water) in the air, that can’t do a throttle stop, shifter, or worse yet a parachute release solenoid, any good, (especially the latter). I’m not willing to take that risk God knows there is enough that can go wrong.
That said, finding a CO2 fill station that will fill a 10 ounce bottle has become problimatic, no one near me wants to fill them for a reasonable charge. I am going to buy the bottle and equipment to fill them myself, $10 to fill a 10ounce bottle is ridiculous.

| Pivot, one reason is already posted above, filling the 10 oz bottles is inconvenient at best. If I were to change back to the 10 oz bottles I would buy the proper equipment to refill them in-house from a large tank. There would be some initial expense but once set up one large bottle would refill the small ones for years. I think it would be just fine to have two spare bottles in addition to the one in the car. I think doing so would be a good solution.

| If the tank is full I can cycle my throttle stop 11 times on my dragster and 9 on my camaro before the compressor comes back on to refill the tank..

| I’m considering converting to air and using 10 oz co2 bottles now.
What brands or models do you like and are they aluminum tanks ?? |

| Hero, as a public service, I request you post photos of the hardware required to transfer from big bottle to small bottle. Also, how do you determine when the 10 oz bottle is full?

A scale is an important part of this equation. You need to know the empty weight and add 9oz. You can add 10oz, but you chance popping off in the heat. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ |
