what I have been using is a fire fighters scot pac. A friend gave me two of them when the dept he works for could no longer use them. I've had to pay $30 to have the tanks hydro ( 5 year test ) and $5 to fill the tank. Now this is not the easiest system to work with i.e. big tank on your back, tyvek suit, scrached face mask and crawling under a tractor makes for a interesting paint job but it's better than death. This also only gives me about 20-30 min of air. What I want to do is to take dive tanks and cascade them together in the corner of the shop. Then hook them up with a 50 ft hose to my face mask. I have access to more dive tanks than scot tanks but the plumbing of this project is the current hold up.
btw Rod et al is there any safety issues I'm missing with this setup I should know about. The scot pac face mask's are a postive pressure system
thanks
