    Co2 is stored in a liquid form and N2 is stored in gas form. That means you can get significantly more volume in a smaller tank. Ratio is approx 3-1 so with my 15# Co2 tank its got more usable volume than your 40# tank while taking up much less space and being much lighter.

    Co2 also expands less so if the tank were to rupture it wouldn't be as bad as if a N2 tank were to :violent:


    Some great myths debunked about N2 here http://powertank.com/truth.or.hype/

    Good info. It's been years since I got my Nitrogen setup, but it's never failed me and I'll stick with it. I guess it really just made more sense for me to get Nitrogen for the SAW air shocks. One day I may go to the CO2 dark side, we'll see if the SAW's end up on the Toyota.....
