ok so i got a question that i know the answer to but just want to see if any one else have ever looked into this.
theres a shop here locally that sells 4500 psi Nitrogen bottles for 1/3 the price of 4500 air tanks and im after chatting with them for hours about this. just say i was to make a cascade system with these Nitrogen tanks, i know from talking to people they say its a NO NO as the pure nitrogen can leach from the steel tank into the fresh compressed air that i would fill them with and could bring the o2 content down and raise the nitrogen percentage.
Some people i have talked to have said leave the valve off them for a few days and it will leach its self out, others have said once its drained and at Atmosphere pressure thats it there good to go.
Personally if theres any doubt i wouldn't go with the Nitrogen tanks as theres too much risk involved in it, but has any one ever looked into this or have tried it?
