Hi Bill. One other thought--if you're limited to one tank, get an OMS 125 or 131 cuft tank. Pump it to 3000 psi, (they're rated for 10,000 cycles at 4500psi) and it gives you just shy of 165 cuft. That's the same as 2 80's, and if you put an H-valve on it, you'll have a redundant air source in one bottle. It's not cheap ($400-$500), but it's cheaper than twins with manifold and bands. --- Craig Muir <craig_muir@ya*.co*> wrote: > Hi Bill > An OMS steel 45 may be a bit big for a pony tamer. > I'd try hanging it on your front side like a stage > bottle.
