Hi,
Anyone know what pressures truck air tank receivers would be rated to?? Want to fit one under my 4x4.

The standard maximum normal operating pressure for truck air brakes is 100 psi or in metric - 700 kpa. The tank will rated higher than that. Have a look for a plate on the tank. It's an air pressure reciver so it should be have a manufacturers design plate attached to it.

Thanks, your right there should be a plate but there isn't. Looks professionally built but with no tag, I also believe it will be rated much higher as most relief valves crack at 150 PSI.

My Truck tank (I bought new from Truckspings.com) has a SWP of 150psi and a max of about 250psi.
Mine charges to 105psi (then ARB pressure switch trips). I have a relief valve in the tank set to 150psi.
