Long Travel BS Thread

Trooth!

 

Man that truck is wiiiideeeee

 

She was meant to be a sideways monster

I just have this image in my head
Of a truck on 40’s doing a reverse entry

 

About to get a nitrogen setup to do some shock work myself. Help me understand the ideal gas law if it even applies to this hypothetical equation.

Say I have 2000 psi of tank pressure.
A shock takes 150 psi.

Does that mean I can fill 13 shocks with a 2000psi capacity?

Please don't argue.

 

You’re forgetting about volume

 

Probably, help me out then

 

I don’t understand it either

I just now both volume and pressure are important in this equation.

 

And temperature!

 

Facts

 

I just need a west coast bro to say "I get about 20 shocks out of a 5ft bottle" no math please.

 

PV=nRT baby

Yeah, lets pretend the temperature remains the same for everything. You'll also need to know the volumes of the tanks.

 

this will probably actually get you what you want:

quick mafs for a 40 cu ft tank and a 2.5x12 cylinder volume. may be right, may be wrong.

 

Pretty sure my tank is a 60cuft and I’ve done probably 30 shocks with it. It’s getting on the low side and I’ll need to refill it soon. I’ll try to confirm volume when I get out to the shop in a little bit.

 

53cuft is what it says on the bottle

 

I like 20cuft for easier transport.

I have filled 8? shocks and bumps a few times and my tank is still at 1k.

I usually fill to 300 and let them sit to make sure they don’t leak then bleed down to where I want them

 

We'll need to know the cubic feet on the bottle. That's really all that matters for a math free SWAG.

 

You should be able to do hundreds of shocks on one 40cuft tank.

A 2.5x8 shock resi is approx .03 cubic feet.

I use Argon personally as I always have it on hand anyways. But is an option for anyone that TIG welds. 75/25 AR Co2 is not recommended. Molecularly, argon is actually superior to nitrogen but at a greater expense.
