ARB Compressor Tank Loss

COULD YOU TELL ME HOW BIG YOUR HEADER TANK IS, AND WHERE ITS MOUNTED . AND HOW FAR FROM THE COMPRESSER ITS MOUNTED .SAFE DRIVEING MAL

Mal B,

I only have the ARB compressor that has the small tank built on it for the air lockers.

I have thought about installing a larger tank but couldnt realy be bothed.
(maybe one day).

Mal / Kev,

The tank is as Kev says and built onto the top of the compressor for the air lockers.

The only reason I bought the question up is that I got a truck brake air tank yesterday from the wreckers ($20, excellent condition, including most of the air fittings and mounting brackets) and am going to plumb it in and mount it under the Cruiser. With the air being lost back through the compressor over time, I am needing either a one way valve or a stop valve to keep the air in the new tank and stop it being lost through the compressor. I have decided to go with a three way stop valve I have at home. Tank is only quite small at around 15 litres.

Like Kev says, normally you wouldn't be bothered, but for $20 and 5 weeks holiday to fill in .... why not!Cheers,
Wazza

Wazza,
Make sure theres no rust inside the brake tank from condensation over the years.

Thanks Kev. It is all fitted and working sweet. Fitted with about 5mm to spare all around sitting under the front passengers seat. Black oily residue coming out of the tank before I flushed it with diesel, so hopefully no rust problems.

Thanks all for your replies. Sounds like a bit of loss through the compressor is all normal.
