If you are trying to keep your cost to a minimum, sure, you can get by with only the tank. That's what I'm doing and seems to be fine. I do plan to get the AC adapter just so I don't have to fuss with recharging the tank all the time (I like to keep it fully charged). You cannot charge the tank and use it at the same time. The switch for the tank if On/Off/charge.

Thanks but I went the opposite way and bought the adaptor. The big test will come when I travel to use the scope and see how many batteries I burn through. Then it will also become a choice between rechargeable batteries and the tank.My big concern was I have heard a lot of complaints about the tank have problems.Again thanks for the input.

Its been awhile since I bought this but I remember doing a second order for tanks. Not sure if it didn't come with it or because I wanted extras. I woulld buy extras anyway. This tank won't last that long if you use it consistantly everyday.

This adapter is for a mid size co2 tank produced by jt. Any regular size tank, does require this adapter.

I assume it's because the mini is designed for use on paintball tanks. Basic is designed for use on regular co2 tanks, if you want to use it on a paintball tank you'll require an adapter.

I got a kit from "XXXXXX" and it was $15 for 10 rings and caps and 2 adapters. I have not found any adapters sold separately, but I got extras when I bought a starter kit for the bottles, too. Now I have like five adapters. So if you can't find the kit I bought (which I am having trouble finding now), maybe if you need bottles anyway, the breast milk kit and the starter bottle kit could be bought together?

It doesn't "require" it, but it is highly recommended for top performance and long life. Otherwise, hard water scale can build up in the tank and reduce output pressure and clog accessories.

If you "Google" "Do I need an electric adaptor, you will find the information you need. Here is the link: http://askville.amazon.com/electrical-converter-travel-Australia-month/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=2564574 It states that you do need both an adaptor and a converter.

The amps is very important, all depend how many whats do you need, is very important if is AC or DC, AC=Altern current, DC=DIRECT CURRENT, if you buy this adapter, you don't have problems, with the AC, the outside label is AC and the adapter really is DC

You have to buy a separate one. Because the one that comes with the tank really doesn't do anything.

The only thing you will need is your small tank. I use the small one used for camping. I Love my purchase. It does the job.

No you must purchase the adapter separately. Should be shown under Frequently Bought Together. This pertains to the one Sold by Kellards and Fulfilled by Amazon for 129.95. Hope this helps

I did not need one it should work without an adapter. If you haven't already purchased the unit I would advice against it, it's a piece of crap with no support when it fails and it will fail.

That will really depend on what you already have. When I bought my tank, I was replacing an existing tank I had. The fitting on the bottom was different than my last tank so I had to purchase additional fittings and some replacement PVC pipe. If you are using this as a replacement, typical fittings and pipe will be required in order to return your well to normal use.

Tanks for your inputs Alan and CAMPJEEP -- I really appreciate them. I'll take a look at the various options you've proffered.Bruce C.

Yes. You can purchase an adapter, separately, to take along with you. My husband got a crate to carry the tank for easier traveling which keeps it from toppling over in the bed of the truck. Does this answer your question?

You should not need an auxiliary tank with this compressor. It has a fitting on the compressor to plug a hose in so you can air up tires, run air tools, etc. This compressor is 100% duty cycle so it is designed to run continuously until it meets it's demand. This should be all you will need to hook everything up. If you decide to go into a tank, you may need a hose made up to go from the compressor to the auxiliary tank. Hope this helps, good luck with your build.
