found a deal on a brand new 20lb tank, and am looking for a high flow regulator. not exactly looking to drop 230 on a powertank reg. any have any suggestions?

Any welding shop or www.polyperformance.com, good luck

You can use just about any inert gas regulator for carbon dioxide. If it doesn't have the correct tank fitting, they're cheap and simple to swap.

Why are you concerned about high-flow? If I need gas on the trail, I'm usually not overly concerned about flow rates :flipoff2:. If your flow rate is high enough and flow continued for a long enough period of time, you may experience regulator icing. That damned Joule-Thompson effect.

just keeping my options open for later power tools and such. seeing as i am always mooching tools from the local rover shop:smokin: , and im going to college soon, im going to have to quit being a leech and spend some cash on tools. after researching somemore, its now more of the questions of adjustable/preset, and it seems like im going to go with adjustable, know of any cheap adj. regs?

see above...
or an explanation...a regulator does what??? ok, lets break down the word..(Regulate-or) now what does the mean? youa re in school so should be used to this..it regulates..Yeah! winnan! you guessed right.

anyway just look around for a good inert gas regulator as the other "older" non vw van driving but claimed deadhead Paul said...and take it to a gas shop(like airgas) and have it setup for co2
if i knew where i had that extra box-o-regulators, i'd just send you one, but not sure if it made the last move.

Paul(who is still looking for that actual co2 reg so I don't have to convert the hydrogen or helium or argon or??? so I can get back into beer-making and use my soda kegs.....)

If I wasn't a conservative, gun-totin' peacenik Deadhead, those would be fightin' words!

Claimed? How many tapes you got that you taped from the taper section? Hah! I'll bet I've lost more than you've ever had! My first show I taped, they played Dark Star and I was the only one in the section with an analog deck who was prepared with a blank tape so I wouldn't have to flip the tape in the middle of the song!

I may have a job, an education, and a house, but I'm still a Deadhead! Ask me about the money I owe Mickey Hart.

any welding shop would have an adequate CO2 regulator. Don't mess with any "other" inert gas whatever - you'll spend more in the end.
Why high-flow? So that he could reseat a bead at once, and run a biggest ass impact driver, without regulator freezing solid. Both will drain the tank quickly, though.

There are numerous inert gas regulators on ebay for $10 (there's even a Harris inert for $8.49!). Add $10 or $15 for the gland and you're ahead of the game.

I don't doubt that - it's just buying a CO2 regulator from a welding shop guarantees you from any guesswork. It'll have the right fittings, it'll provide enough flow, and it will be unlikely to freeze over (unless totally abused).
If the questionnable regulator fails in the worst possible manner (going wide open), and it blows the hose, and/or everything attached to it, it may not be worth the saving.
You know me, I'm totally for CB approach. But, I would only feel safe buying some obscure regulator off eBay after I've bought them all before, taken them apart, and learned the differences. At that point... scroll to the top.

Do you drink? Much? If so, you may have a reasonable relationship with your local drinking establishment. They will have several C02 regulators ehind the bar and as these are often supplied by or can be connived from the beer distributor, they may be willing to hook you up for a tenner....

yeah, i saw a few of those on ebay. to lazy to look up how many psi they put out though. anybody know?

Beverage regulators rarely ever put out more than 60 PSI as that is the max pressure for a keg. Given that veyr low pressure and very low flows are necessary for beer dispensing, it is unlikely a beverage regulator would work in your applicaiton (subject to correction by OS:flipoff2: ).
