    Have you considered refilling your power tank with argon or C25?

    Edit: after a quick search I found this:

    Argon tanks (which store highly pressurized gas) need to be able to withstand a much higher pressure than CO2 tanks (which store mostly liquid CO2 in a similar way to an LP tank, but at a much higher pressure than LP), and any argon mix, is also a pressurized gas.
    So, you can put CO2 in an argon tank, but no argon, or mix into a CO2 tank.

    As for volume of CO2:
    With a molecular weight of 44, there are around 10.3mol of CO2 in a pound. Since there are 22.4L of ideal gas at STP per mole, 1 pound yields 231L, or:
    8.15 Cubic Feet per pound of CO2. A heavier gas (such as propane), would yield less volume per mass (propane should be around 6.18 Cubic Feet per pound).

    Yep you found your answer. It wouldn’t work for a few reasons. CO2 is stored in the tank in a liquid form which is how there’s such a large volume of gas in such a small package, and at such a low pressure. My tank only ever reaches 800 psi. It’s also much, much cheaper than argon and c25.

    Somehow that cool mullet makes me feel like an inadequate human being :pout:

    All I had was a weak ass bowl cut.

    Unfortunately the mullet didn’t last. This is a year after that, 1995

    Speaking of rocking mullets. Since you are a clearancing guru... @EatSleepTacos


    I’ve taken my truck out the last few days to an OHV area near the house and found rubbing. It’s not the the slow armor banging rock crawling. It’s the fucking endless 2’ whoops on the way to and from the crawling spots. I suppose I could drive 3mph but fuck.

    I’m on 295/75r16s with 3.5”BS wheels. I already pulled the flares and trimmed the fenders. Have an aggressive CMC. Flattened pinch weld etc.

    (Mud for dramatic effect!)

    I’m rubbing the firewall just in from the pinch weld, above the tire on the wheel well and up front towards the bumper up high.

    54CEFBA1-1916-43E6-AC6C-189EBC9E41B0.jpg 9F5981F1-1E8B-459B-8601-7CE91C1C8EC9.jpg 82364023-8227-4F18-8A8A-57054E317F44.jpg

    Can that be minimized with a little more preload? If not I need to limit up travel a little more. Spacer under the bump?
