Compressed air tank location - good or bad idea? (1 Viewer)

[cahill]

One of the potential issues I had when test fiting the tank was that the ports for the tank were all very close to the frame rails and there wouldn't be enough room for the hoses and fittings. I took some measurements to see how much I needed to lift the tank to allow the hoses to go over the frame and made some spacers out of aluminum stock building in a slope towards the drain side.

Now just waiting for the paint to dry and some fittings for the tank to arrive to mount it all up and see if I need to make any adjustments or if I go it right the first time.

Had my tank mounted there for 20 or so years.

ARB and the tank is sitting under my m12000. So, lots of room

George what tank is that or is it a DIY tank?

Is that between the gas tank and mid truck cross member??

Thomas Air Compressor - http://www.george4wd.taskled.com/compressor.html has all the info of my install including the source of the tank and dimensions I used. There's more pics too so you can see how it was mounted, basically a custom bracket I made that hangs across the 2 front chassis horns.
