...Otherwise known as your reservoir. Yeah, I know most people just use lengths of PVC pipe, but I was wondering if anybody was aware of any more appropriate vessels. For starters, I don't really like PVC as the primary vessel simply because PVC is a brittle material and really isn't a wise choice for such applications. Still, a lot of us use it due to the low cost. I would prefer something *intended* for use on compressed gas. I've seen mention of a fire extinguisher, but I have visions of the neck on a fire extinguisher being a big choke point in the flow. Perhaps this is not a problem, perhaps it is. Anybody know? Ideally, I think a 6" diameter sphere would be PERFECT, but I wouldn't have the first clue of where to find one. THoughts?
