OBA tank question

[MTBLAZER89]

Tryin to piece together my OBA system. Will a tank like this work? If not what about the portable type?

It *should* work, though they don't specify what it is rated for. It would however be a lot cheaper if you pick one up from a semi wrecking yard. I pulled a 5 gal with 7 ports from the brake system of a freightliner for $10. No shipping either.

I used an old home compressor tank. It was just laying around. You can get them cheap on eBay. Click - http://coloradok5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=128396

Brian,


If it's rated, it would work out just fine. Lots of capacity, and the 4 ports make it real easy. Drop the seller a line on ebay, and ask him what the tank is rated for. I would jump on it if it's rated.

Rated as in the PSI limit?? What "should" it be rated at?

Brian, my 2 air tanks I got off ebay. They are both 5 gallon low rider hydraulic tanks. Mine have 8 ports each.

I would want at least 200 psi, I think , im not shure but i think you want the rating of the tank to be like 20% higher than the output rating of your compressor

What are they rated at? I have no idea what my york put's out? Sweet they have them in chrome too...some steel braided air hose then a chrome impact, and I'll be set.

Hmm, maybe chrome COULD get you home...
