RE: CO-2 START TANK
What is wrong with this one? Looks like a starting gas tank to me. Not CO2 though as I don't think you'd start a turbine with that
Or try anyone that stocks jetcat parts.

I believe the gentleman is looking for the Ram style gas bottle, a converted CO2 unit. Not sure why you would want this though, many have had issues using them (freezing during start) and convert them to the tank style seen above?

Hi there
The little CO2 tanks are Crossman Air Gun refills, emptied of course, and the outlet hole drilled and tapped to suit a Festo fitting suitable for the gas connection.
Yes, they do sometimes cause problems with freezing, but there are loads of posts showing how to get around those.
Personally I've never experienced any icing, or loss of flow. I did find some swarf inside one once, but it hadn't caused any problems. I heard it rattling inside during a check.

Not using one would be the easiest solution [sm=confused.gif]

Yup ... got tired of trying out the special left-handed massage for the old RAM tanks.
It got to be kinda like spotting a fellow Mason by the special handshake ... when you shook hands with a turbine flyer and felt how freezing his hands were, that was the secret handshale that told you he was a fellow RAM user
