    ....and would agree with him....excellent value even at the $60 price.

    Plus...it takes the huff & puff out of blowing up pool toys!

    The question is however, how long does it take? With an air tank its like seconds...

    I can air up my 31's from 15 to 40 psi in about 4 minutes each. Not that bad at all. I had a Co2 tank, but living in the desert, the heat would cause the gas to expand and blow the emergency seal. Not fun when that happens...windows fog up and oxygen disapears instantly!

    I run a CO2 tank, and I am pretty sure its hotter here in Charleston than the dessert, we were in the hundreds last week, no problems with my tank venting...it may just depend upon the valve setpoint.

    I get it, but how often does it get that hot in Britain? Plus, if you ahve the rain guards, keep the windows cracked, and are tinted, then you should have ZERO CO2 problems. I think Bart keeps his in the back too?

    Yeah, I've never had any issues with mine *knock on wood*. Up here in Reno we generally get a week or three where we hit 100+ degrees. But that said, Billy is down in the 135 degree territory. THAT is FARKIN hot.

    4 minutes each is just too long.
