Hi All
I have just fitted an air tank under the tray of my ute ,approximately 8 litres
capacity. The tank came of a small truck and is fitted with the usual relief valve.
My only reason for fitting this is to deliver a decent amount of air for reseating tyres. I have tested the tank for this purpose an it worked
well.
Yeah I know that I can use the butane cyclinder and a match but burns can be painfull and where we travel a burn could be painfull for a long time.
Customers on our tours would also take a dim view of us setting a small explosion in thier $ 350 odd tyre.
My question to all of you learnard folk is do I need to fit a
Check valve to the inlet on the tank or will the one in the compressor do the job. Currently I am using an ARB compressor which fills the tank in under 4 mins.
Thank you in advance for your
well informed comments
Cheers Teza
