DAYTON ELECTRIC MANUFACTURING CO./SPEEDAIRE Air Tank,Stationary,175 PSI,15 Gal,Horiz - Stationary Air Tanks - 1TZZ2|1TZZ2 - Grainger Industrial Supply

50 lbs, 3 feet wide, $450. 15 gal ~ 2 cu feet. One GGE of natural gas is 126.67 cubic feet equivalent, I think it is pretty close, not sure..

175 Psi /15 Psi=17 times compression.
2 ft3 x17 = 34 ft3

34/127=0.27 GGE or about 1 liter....... Not so much....

This is why I bought 2 CNG tanks (type 1 heavy 3000 Psi). They are 1.5+1.5 cubic feet.

I need 1200-1300 Psi to get 2 GGE.
1300/15=86 compression
86x3=258 ft3
258/127=2 GGE

I would never put this kind of pressure into propane or air tank. Less pressure is not more.... So don't call me an idiot..... trying to blowing himself....

I can see We start getting Ideas... This is GOOD Let's move on
