Thanks to all who answered! I appreciate the help. I was torn between a 5
gallon tank which might be close to supporting to balls out runs and maybe
not making it or going with an 8 gallon tank. I think I will go with the 5
gallon. 

Oh, an interesting experience today. I was upside down in my race car
trying to tack weld the roll cage components. I was laying on my back,
sweating like a pig, my helmet crept up so I could hardly see what I was
doing and the foot controller for the TIG was in the abousolute worst
position I could force it into. I stuck the electrode to the weld rod, all
the while keeping the controller going thn stuck the end of theat welding
rod to my left side. Jeeze, I exploded from out of that car. I thought I
had been electrocuted! My wife near had a heart attact when I came out from
the car. WOW! I ain't gonna do that no mo. 

Probably don't need a pace maker, I'll just run out and suck on that TIG
welder to keep me going!
