An industrial quality bottle for nitrogen can be had from either a good

welder's supply house in your local area.  Check local codes for storage

requirements.  Also be aware of pressure differances as compared to the

common air tanks you may be used to.  An air tank on a typical single

stage compressor may be as high as 130  PSI.  An industrial nitrogen

tank may well run 2500-3000 psi.  This could lead to some surprises as

you "quick fill" your tires/nose strut beyond capacity! A good Scuba

Diving Shop can provide you with information that will ensure safety as

it is a common practice to have an air chuck from a Scuba Tank.  Scuba

tanks are typicaly filled to 3000 PSI.  Be safe as an exploding tire or

strut WILL get your full and undivided attention.   Regards...JBC
