5 Gallon Portable Air Tank

Used this twice so far (both times at the race track). Worked great both times. Holds enough air to get us through the day. I threw away the hose it came with and added the 10 foot HF coiled hose.

Bought this tank for adding air pressure to my car tires after arriving at autocrosses. It has plenty of capacity to add a couple of pounds of pressure to each tire. After reading the reviews I bought a coupler (http://www.harborfreight.com/14-male-brass-industrial-coupler-68179.html) to use in place of the included air hose. That makes it more convenient for inflation or to hook up whatever other accessories that I want to use. In my opinion, it should come that way from the factory.

The tank part of this is made well. The fill nozzle and PSI gauge seem to be good enough. The hose is cheap and almost useless. I have not had any issues with it leaking air like others have said. The tank portion is worth the money in my opinion. Adding a new hose is easy to do.

I bought a new ¼" x 3' hose for $5 and added a quick disconnect fitting. I am very happy with the tank now. Being able to use it for more than just inflating tires is nice.

Leaked as soon as I filled it.
Fixed the leaking by letting all the air out and removing each threaded piece and applying teflon tape to the threads and re-assembling and it has not linked since.

The tank is reasonably well made and the pressure gauge and valve work fine. The hose is the only disappointment. It's very stiff and the chuck on mine had a constant leak. Easily fixed by putting on a different hose.

Leaked like crazy when I first tried to fill. Had to disassemble hose and gauge, apply thread sealant and reassemble. After that it worked great. Concerned with hose though, its so stiff and cheap that it will need replacing. Gauge doesnt read the same as my compressor either.

Chuck valve dumped tank pressure after 2nd use, and wouldn't hold any pressure after that.. the last tank I bought lasted 30+years, this didn't work past 30 minutes....

The hose leaks soo much air that the tank can never fill.
