Re: Nitrogen for bags question
I have built/run both systems. I generally tell my guys running Nitrogen that it is for off road show only vehicles since here in MT it is a $10,000 fine for and uncapped tank in a moving vehicle. Also have a friend that rather than build a truck he bought a Toyota off fleabay with a BIG nitogen bottle in the bed just inside the tailgate. It's like 8" diameter and runs the entire width of the bed. Filled it's like 2000+ PSI. I can't imagine the horror if that sucker ever got rear ended by something big enough to tear the valve off the tank.
The nicer systems I have done usually use smaller on board nitrogen as a back up with electric or EDC compressors for daily. For my own rig I plan to use an Idea from a customer rig. The guy was big into racing for a long time and had these electric bottle openers generally used for Nitrous. We set the car up with two scuba tanks filled with nitrogen with the openers on and a 5 gal tank fed off two Viair 450's. The bottle openers allowed him to seal the Nitrogen to save waste and generally ran off the viairs. If it needed a quick fill or flex on a stoplight player a simple flick of the switch and plenty of Nitrogen. They just install in place of the "faucet" handle on the tank.
