"Air" is 78% Nitrogen already...hopefully no one is foolish enough to pay for the other 22% for street use.

Any difference in thermal performance (heat absorption/dissipation or expansion/contraction) is truly tiny.
Oh, yeah. It is insn't it!?!?

I know this is any old post but I just wanted to add that nitrogen cost pretty much nothing for the welding supplier gas companies to get. It's one of the cheapest gases. So if you want to use it, just rent a bottle and have it filled up.

I have a tank of it I run air tools on for my 4x4. Its a dry gas so I have to oil my tools a little more, but its cheap.

But there is no moisture so the tools should last longer. Great Idea!
