I would say there is no advantages. Its basically all cosmetic.
all said in done its probably cheaper, than buing DOT air brake line and DOT PTC fittings. The tools to do it nice is what costs money. But once you own them, its cheaper long term.

Swoops do you just leave it like that or do you have a false floor of some sort? I love the tank.

I am trying to talk my buddy I work with who is huge into lowriders to bend me up some stainless lines.

[Travy]

any more hardlines?

[J.Owen]

i just did short bends from my tank to the valves. I need to work on it some more tonight, i'll try and snap some pics if it is still light out.

[charlie hayes]

what i did.

[Kevin@AAC]

not bad, it that a compression fitting?

[passat_98]

I just dropped a **** load on flare fittings and was going to get started this weekend if it's nice out.

question: Would you use teflon tape on the cap?

[charlie hayes]

i used flare fittings. and i used blue seal or something like that. its like a goop. my dad had it in his truck.

[passat_98]

I dont have anymore... I think i have blue or red stickers right now, and thats it..

no t-shirts, or anything...

[BADCLOWN]

when that firestone order gets made (not soon) ill order/snag up some of that. should give you plenty of time to get off your ass and bust some more goodies out for people to rep

also, found out today that my family/I wont be traveling to sarasota (as of right now) because we lost the house a friend of the family was lending to us. their "fresh outta under-grad" daughter decided to move into it (got it made?)

still wanting to plan a trip/visit for the end of the summer potentially. pretty bummed though

[Swoops]

i got the last gold "airbysanti" sticker! hahahahaha. seriously though Santi has supplied pretty much all the parts for my friends setup (silver tank above) and hes awesome to deal with

[BADCLOWN]

Same here. Only thing I haven't ordered through him is my front bags and gauge pod from eric/andrew

[Santi]

Alright JAcob, well you keep me posted, i'll be here.

Greg, if thats the car i'm thinking of then it should have my full sticker for sure.

Unless mine goes on the outside I think he has the wood one.

[C.Raynes]

It isss the car your thinking of haha and check your email about the sticker your going to have some prime real estate on that tank buddy!!! so dont you worry!

no disrespect on the sticker man it was me ****ing it up trying to put it on and wrinkled like half of it with all nice bubbles in it so i cut off half and mated it with the esad one. but dont worry man like i said there is something bigger for you because i gotta give you a **** load of credit for this build becuase with out gregs know how and amazing skill and your help with all the parts and dealing with me i gotta rep it hard

[Santi]

Its all gravy bro... I was just joking.. I didnt care...

@ SOWO, Matt (england) was walking around with one of my Tshirts w/ a MAsonTech sticker over my name...

[C.Raynes]

hahaha niceee

[Swoops]

[Stan Marsh]
