How many gallons are the two stock air tanks? How many CFM at what PSI is the airflow rate to the glad hand? Thanks

On a good day.The air compressor puts out about 7cfm. Thats what you working air system is gonna get you.
You will empty the deuce air tanks rapidly with a train horn.I work in the projects with a railway beside them. I want a set of train air horns mounted under my truck. I have no idea of the cfm needed at what pressure is needed just for short bursts.
Last year, a Bubba in a Cummins sitting at a red light beside me shook my car with an air horn.
Grunt Grunt, Must have.
The proper way to handle a large user of air (like your horn) is to have a dedicated air tank for it's use. By plumbing it in with one-way check valves you will eliminate the possibility of draining your brake tanks.You will empty the deuce air tanks rapidly with a train horn.
Exactly. Even after doing that you can watch the air pressure guage fall if you hold the horn button down. My buddy put a set on his bobber. Those things use some air.

Yep. Easily enough air to change a tire. I've done it any number of times.I can run lots of stuff off the air system. You just have to understand that its not "shop air". It will accomplish any of my needs, just not as quick as at home.
I wonder if a 20 gallon propane tank would be enough for a horn. I've turned any number of them tanks into portable compressed air tanks for airing up race car tires.I figure I could get a refrigeration liquid receiver and adapt it for this use. The newer ones are rated for 500psi. I only want it for short bursts like when these "Fast and Furious" cars decide to turn left in front of or almost cut off my 13,500lb vehicle![]()
It would work. Question is where to put it.I wonder if a 20 gallon propane tank would be enough for a horn. I've turned any number of them tanks into portable compressed air tanks for airing up race car tires.
