Replacement air tank

[Steve A W]

I need an air tank for an Ingersal rand compressor. 20 gal portable tank.
Would like to get a direct replacement to make change over easier.
I googled I/R and that was a headache.
Thanks for the help.

I bought one of those at Surplus Center through their website. My Craftsman compressor would not directly transfer, but it was easily adaptable to the new tank. I think Surplus Center is in Nebraska.

I got one with all of the "Certifacation" tags
on it from W.W. GRAINGERS, a few years ago.
Price was not cheap, but quality was excellent
and freight was free to a local "Grainger"branch.

For smaller compressors pick up an air tank from a semi trailer parts place. Thay are reasonable priced. I did this for one of ours and it was easy to reweld the brackets on it.

McMaster Carr has tanks that size for $2-300, Grainger has portable ones for about $330. There are alot of different brands of tanks around at alot of store if you search for them. If you are near a major city I would suspect there is a place specializing in selling custom compressor set ups who could probably get you a tank at a reasonable cost.

Good to hear. It's a fright reading here all the people who want to weld or braze a leaking air tank.

Thanks for the replies.
Buickanddeere I've seen pictures of garages destroyed by small comp tanks exploding.
It's amazing the power they can have.
