Hey fellas, I need to find a single air tank for my airbag set up that is about 12 gallons capacity and about 44in. long x about 7in. wide (diameter); to fit in my 51 merc trunk on the shelf above my C-notch. Any ideas where to find one new or used? Thanks fellas!
44"x7" won't be 12 gallons. I had a 12-gallon air tank that was 44"x10". just like this one http://www.hornblasters.com/products/details.php?i=hornair-black-12g8p-air-tank
Thanks AAFD; they dont make that one now. Anyone else know of something close to that size? Even a 10 gallon tank that is long and narrow? Thanks fellas!
Suicidedoors.com, but the site says that the tanks are sold out! worth a call though. Airbagit.com and run 2- 5 gallon tanks
I have this tank in my Merc right now: http://qualityairride.com/air-management/airtanks/8-port-5-gallon-slim-and-skinny It's on top of a pretty substantial notch:
How big are your bags and what are you running for compressors? I do 4-corner bag jobs all day, most every day, and rarely ever use a tank that large. The only time is do is when it is used with an engine-driven compressor, like a York. The dimensions you quoted would be a 7.33 gallon tank. Why not shoot for an 8-gallon tank?
Great idea gimpy. I am running morrison ch***is with firestone bags 6' inch diameter double convoluted front, sleeve rear. Maybe 10 gal too big. Running dual compressors. Can you pm me your phone contact info? Where can I get a long skinny 8 gallon tank? Thanks!
Since were on the subject, I have had a few airbag and hydro cars, that I built. I have been thinking of volume vs pressure, we have all see the pancake tanks used for nail guns, and the pressures they run. My last set up I used a 5 gal tank, 2 electric compressors on a full size chevy 1500, it worked great but I did run 200psi. but I could only get 2 lifts of the front end on a single fill of that tank ( I ***ume is was due to pressure drop, not volume loss) so with all that in mind, a small tank would hit the pressure faster than a larger one, so would there be an advantage to a 1 or 2 gal tank with faster recovery time compared to longer fill times with larger tanks?
