Instant air supply is offering a group buy pricing, the discount is 10% of any order and $15 powder coating for most colors.  Some colors are $20 that require multiple coats of powder.  Need 5 to get the pricing.  Let me know if interested, maybe able to get better pricing if we get more to buy.

Here is a list i found.  You can usually get them refilled at a fire extinguisher company or beverage company

Not sure why the photo isn't showing up. 24 37" tires approximately 24 secs if i read the chart right.  Those are power tanks figures should be pretty similar.

Where do you think you'd mount this?  I'm guessing this could just be filled up via a regular air compressor in your shop?  Have you considered going with an electric air compressor like this guy did (granted it won't air a 37" tire in 24 seconds!)

My power tank screamed at filling my 35's. But every time i pulled it out people were asking for air. I ended up filling it up every time I went out. Now I have OBA and can fill everyone. It just takes a lot longer than 1 min per tire.

what is your onboard air system?  I have viair under the hood. Barely gets my 37s back to drivable before shutting down due to heat.

I have considered an OBA system, but given the low cost of this system, $200 before discount.  The ability to air up quickly is a great plus.  Also the ability to use it for power tools would be an advantage. I can get a 10lb system refilled for $20.  As I don't wheel that often I can leave this at home and not carry it with me all the time.  Ideally I would put a constant duty OBA system on, but this is more efficient than an inexpensive compressor setup.
