If you aren't concerned about being 100% LEGO, I stumbled across an aluminum
or stainless tank at one of the pneumatic suppliers for around $8.  I will
take a look back through my history and see if I can find it if you are
interested... I am considering a couple myself as I am looking at pneumatics
with non-LEGO components intermixed.

sure i am interested. It seems that the only way to get a lego one is to get a set that might cost 50+. I am in college and don't realy have that cash. There are also a few other parts from pistco that i would like. (27 years ago, 8-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics)
