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
