Look at the CFM volume requirements to run your air tools and or the compressors CFM designed to operate them. A little math and boyles law should help you guesstimate how long a 114 tank would operate it. The next question is if the regulator in the tank can provide sufficient air flow continuously? Long enough to break some lug nuts loose? Maybe. You'd go nuts trying to paint a car... Shortcut with the scuba or Nitro hook up. Don't need a regulator... You already OWN one. It is on your Raptor. Just hook the scuba, nitro straight to the fill fitting on the Raptor. All you need is a hose and fittings rated for the pressure. Now keep an eye on the max pressure rating of the raptor tank. Would want to hook it straight to 4500 psi if it was rated at 3000 psi. But scuba only runs max of 3000 so that would not be an issue. That is how many tankers hook up a scuba and nitro supply tank for long scenerio games.
