I have a VIAIR air compressor that I have finally mounted and wired up in the rear of my 80. I also have a 2.5 gal tank that I'm going to install later but I'm still waiting on Wit's End's rear tank mount shelf.
I mounted the compressor on the left side of the frame for a close routing to the future tank, then I noticed that it may be too close to the fuel filler neck.
I am worried that it might get too hot and warm up the fuel filler neck which would probably not be a good thing.
I think I already know the answer to this question, but should I move it? Maybe I should shift it down, or add a heat shield, or just put it somewhere else?
I have attached some pics. (air intake is temporary, I will be moving that somewhere else) (air chuck location is also temporary)
Also, I noticed one of the photos on the Wit's End website has a compressor reasonably close to the fuel filler, so maybe I'm worrying about nothing? I'll attach that picture too.
Thanks in advance. Onboard air noob here.
