AIR TANK!

[BoatsRcool]

Ok, I saw a 7 gallon air tank today at walmart.

It was around $18. Now, could I fill that thing with my a/c and d/c air compressor? or at the gas station? I could keep it in the back to fill up tires fast. How long would it take to fill? would it be possible to run air tools off of it? how long? I just want to know! If i ever bought an air compressor,could i hook it up to this?

I used to have an airbag suspenion system in my old truck. I used that 7 gallon tank you refer to. I hooked a hard line to the fill valve & had 2 onboard compressors hooked to it too fill it. It's good for filling a tire, airbag, arb system but that's about it. For use of airtools I would go with a c02 tank that is much larger. Really it is all in the compressor, how quick it will refill the tank. Hope this helps.

That 7 gallon air tank fits very well on the spare tire rack. I am feeding the tank with a York a/c compressor that I mounted just to the left of the p/s pump. I use air tools and have no problem at all. I just let the tank fill first ( takes about three minutes at an idle ) before I start using the tools.
