I have ARB CKMA12 Hi-Output Compressor mounted on my vehicle. Eventually when I'll get front ARB Air Locker I'll be plumbing it into the compressor, so far it's used to inflate the tires.
I was thinking of installing 3 Gallon Tank.
I did a search on the Web, but I cannot find information on output of CKMA12. I did find specs on flow and amperage, but lucking the maximum PSI.
Does anyone knows such information?

Call ARB USA.
 
I would get a bigger tank than 3 gallons. I have a Viair 450, I think, with a 2.5 gallon tank. It takes a long time to air up. I could only fit a 2.5 on my Jeep at the time. I am now transferring it to the LC but am thinking of adding 1 or 2 5 gallon tanks where the spare used to be. The 2.5 tank is good for my train horn and airing up dolly tires at work but that's about it.
 
Honestly I would not use my ARB compressor for tires .. can be done, but IMOP hi cost for just inflating tires and with the risk of loosing your only way to use your lockers ..

There are several options out there to do that .. ( tires ) I have a Puma ( there is a interesting thread in the forum ) or you can buy a smaller one ( tsunamy MV90 ) and use the separate tank idea ..
 
Hijack question,

Could you use a Puma compressor, for two ARBs and airing up tires.

If you had to buy one compressor, which would it be, for all apps.

Sorry for the hijack! :)

It's 50% Duty Cycle.

The Puma would work for both so would CO2, any pressurized air source is fine . Tapage makes a good point a dedicated air source for the lockers is a good thing, plumbing the second source as a backup would also be good.
