I'm looking to convert my air locker to run off my CO2 tank. I have already done some searchs. My problem is that GCR is out of stock on their pneumatic switch and they could not tell me when they would have them in stock again. Any other good options or sources for that switch or something like it?

I got mine thru powertank.com...same price as the ebay posting. you also should put a check valve in line (I put mine at the tank) to keep from sending 160psi to the lockers...

I got my switch from a local Clippard pneumatics supplier and an inline 100 PSI regulator from a gas supply house. I have a 10 lb CO2 tank for airing up and running tools but decided to use a 20 oz paintball tank- I carry a back-up just in case I run out on the trail. My set-up has worked flawlessly since installing it 7 months ago and did it for about half the price of the Power Tank parts.

Thanks for the additional ideas. I have an old 5lb tank that I was going to use. Didn't know about 20 oz paint ball cylinder. About how long is it lasting between refills; and are your running single or dual ARBs? I will be running a single front (Detroit in the rear).
