Looking to take the hassle out of tubeless tyres and also inflating car tyres. Would this have the tank capacity to do tubeless easily......

That link isn't working for me but if it's a 24ltr tank like it says in the URL then it would be more than capable of inflating tubeless tyres & doing the occasional car tyre too.

I think it's because my work webservers are in Germany.

Same here - servers in France so doesn't work! Website too clever for it's own good!

Yes - a 24 litre tank is good for tubeless, but it's as much about high flow rate that's sustainable. A tricky tyre could take a full tank while you wiggle the tyre.

24l can top up 4 van tyres but one was nearly flat and took over a tank. For a couple of PSI that's more than enough.

Machine mart usually have some good deals on compressors.

Be careful with compressors. I use one and a couple of weeks ago managed to over inflate (in a rush and wasnt watching what I was doing that closely) the tyre....BOOOM. Ripped the tyre off the 6 week old wheel, managed to right off the rim completely. Was an expensive mistake to make. So ensure you get a tyre pressure adapters with gauge.

definitely makes life easier when used correctly ๐Ÿ™‚
