I was thinking of using CO2 in my retracts instead of air. I can use a paint ball tank to refill at the site. Any chemists/engineers/physicists that could comment on how to do this or why not do it?

Thanks!!!

i dont see why not (the cold may affect some stuff though), but why waste your time? you could buy a small tank and fill it with compressed air, then use the tank to refill at the field

*shrugs* I know know... would be a cool mod to do lol

the air would be cheaper.[X(]

The CO2 may cause the seals in your air cylinders to go bad as well. I would also be concerned about the pressure that CO2 has verse's 100 PSI of air. I do not think that the air lines and control valves are designed for the higher pressure which would mean that your CO2 would need a regulator. Just my thoughts and Good Luck, Dave

Sounds like a more expensive solution to a non problem.

any co2 leaks may cause freezing at that point and cause a malfunction thinking the loss at the retract valve as they leak a little when switched

We used to use R12 in them years ago. Rohm retracts even gave a list of pressures for corrosponding temperatures. But as has been said, Why? Air ia a lot easyer to use and its free. I have a 12 volt compressor running of a 4cell Lipo and onlt takes around 10secs to pump the tanks up to 120psi.
