I'd like to put a small tank so I can blow out the air filter, etc. when out bush. I run a new ARB compressor. What minimum size does it need to be? Where can you get a variety of shapes and sizes.? I'm on the Mornington Peninsula Vic.

2nd hand 9L water fire extinguishers are light, cheap & have sufficient enough volume for a blower or to reseat a bead without the compressor running for an hour to fill it. Another option is to use the bull bar as a resivoir by simply drilling & tapping a thread for the air line. Need to
check that the bar welds are airtight 1st.
Hobzee on ebay has purpose built alloy 15L tanks with condensation drain valves etc if you have the room for $125.

Know someone with similar bullbar to
mine, using it as air tank. Did consider this but my compressor mounted in tray. I could carry a spare hose to connect compressor to bullbar when I want to blow out air cleaner, etc. and just use compressor for tyres.

As a suggestion you could run an air line from front to rear tapping into the bar for the tank then mount female air fittings at each end to plug your hose into. My compressor is under the bonat so I ran a line to the back so I could pump up the trailer tyres should I need.
