Bigger air tanks

[hndrsonj]

Anyone ever think of swapping the tanks for larger ones? I have several that are approx 9x29 with the end plug and guage. Would be a neat swap. I have 2 sets with gages plus a spare. I'd sell for 100$ plus shipping for a set thru DHL. They were gaseous oxygen tanks from a military C9B aircraft (they went to liquid oxygen systems). Anyone wants a set PM.

Some OD paint and fittings and you're ready to go! How big is the capacity on that tank compared to a stock tank in a Deuce?

You'd have to figure out the drain when mounting them, (vertically?)...

Is this a post about installing these tanks into your truck, or is this a misplaced ad?

I think it's a little bit of a classified ad and a little bit of... "can it be done?" discussion.

It's a little bit of both. I would think they could be installed in the same position and the drains just drilled and tapped. They look to be at least 1/4 inch thick, so I don't think that would be a problem. They appear roughly, almost twice the capacity. Think it would be worth it to install a set?

Let us know how it works. It might be good for running air tools with the extra air.

You can always add two more of the stock tanks.

Does it only allow more capacity for running air tools?

 

[Boatcarpenter]

If you are asking me that question, yes. Only more volume, not more pressure.

How could one get more pressure for BIG TRAIN HORNS.

Hey Cliff get behind the horn pucker your lips and blow real hard!!!!!!! Going from a bigger line to a smaller line will get some pressure change but for running air tools and equipment the best bet will probably a bigger compressor. Unless theres is a way to modify the stock one to put out more psi .
