where do you buy the just the air tank?



I shopped around for a replacement air tank for a long time. New ones are 3/4 the cost of a new compressor most of the time. You can get a new 100# propane tank for around $80 here in Omaha at Menards. Thats about 30 or 40 gallons I think. You could go the used worn out compressor tank route but be very careful. Worn out compressors have put a lot of stress on the tank before they wore out. Specially if they didn't drained it as often as they should have. Could be rusted out on the inside. I don't mean to be a gloomy gus but a bad air tank its a time bomb. When it blows its bad news. Just no spectacular flames. Every air vessel has a finite lifetime. Eventually they do wear out. Hopefully they begin to leak a little first.
