Small high pressure tank

I just visited my mechanic yesterday and had a chat with him. Again, Inoticed a device he has which is a pressurized tank that he uses as asort of custom aerosol. He can fill it part way with some solution andpressurize it up to over 100 PSI and spray from it. I guess it is about1/2 gallon capacity. It's shaped like a fat version of those smallpropane tanks. I've looked for something like this in vain at my local auto parts store- Kragen. My mechanic tells me he bought it from a Wurth distributor whoused to visit his shop every month or so. He tells me that he thinksthat Kent may also distribute or make one. He figures he paid around $50for his.I want this as a sort of high performance cleaning tool. They wererecommended to me as such. I have the Dust Off stuff they sell atCostco, but the pressure's pretty weak out of those. I figure I can usemy tire inflator to pump 100 PSI into it, if I can get one. Does anyoneknow a good place where I can pick up one of these? I live in Berkeley,CA. Thanks!Dan

Sure, I'll take your word for that, but the idiot that suggested inflating the tyre to that level didn't bother pointing out that it would be necessary to hunt around for a tyre that would handle that sort of pressure.

I think the OP said he wanted that sort of pressure

I was at the hospital when his wife came in after being informed - the guy was inflating a (front) tractor tyre after a repair when it let go. Not nice at all. Local paper carried the story.

People are insane. What was the deal, someone said that a piece of rubber from a tire that blew up with only, I don't know, thirty or forty pounds, took out a car window. I think there's a lesson there but what do I know.
