when co2 is compressed it becomes a liquid, when Nitrogen is compressed it stays a gas. Thus the CO2 bottle will hold more uncompressed volume then the no2 bottle.

this is why co2 is more popular, you can get more uncompressed volume out of it.

York is seriously the coolest mod I have used. it's unreal what kind of air those little things will put out.

I wish I could fit one to my 3VZ, if there was space, I would have one.

I had on on my 4.0L Jeep wrangler, I even had the stock air conditioner compressor and the york working as air compressors, it was awesome!

You don't have to shell out the money for a Power Tank, you can build your own 20lb system for about 1/3 the cost.  All you have to buy is an adjustable regulator or a 100psi fixed regulator, hose, buy/fab a CO2 tank mount, and rent a CO2 tank from a local welding shop.  When the tank is empty you just swap tanks and pay for the CO2.
