Air tanks

[e9turbo]

I was just wondering those of you that are running air tank for faster raising, and air shifter possibly. How much do you fill your tanks to in PSI "not BAR" and how much CU feet do you need.

The reason for this question is I have at my disposal some tanks that are 2 CU feet @ 500 PSI. That are much lighter than the Carbon Fiber paint ball tank that I was going to use. and some what nicer fit under bag.

And I do have about four tanks so let me know. If any bodys is interested


Free plus shipping to you...


all the best to you guys

I am going to post a picture of it so thanks for reminding me.

Love to see

I'm interested in how to plumb a system with a tank. Want to run one on mine but not sure how the plumbing will work

What would you like to know?

 

[crutter]

I'm a sponge willing to learn. I already have the home made air ride. Just need to integrate the cylinder

 

[Marc]

Not really hard. Need a safety valve, pressure switch, bung to compressor, bung to system. You choose size, some use 1/8 some use 1/4". I have 1/4 front, 1/4 to the rear regulator then tees to 1/8 rear shocks

sorry if the picture isnt still tryin to get a hold on this

Those are just like what I'm using. Mine is called a 20oz co2 tank..

I welded a bung on the bottom for my pressure gauge, I welded a second by the main inlet for my pressure switch...

 

[Bill]

DAMN that bike is SICK!!!!!!!!!!

Which tank are you using?

 

[crutter]

How much air do they hold compared to the 20oz co2 tank?

 

[e9turbo]

Tell me how much pressure you are running.

Bill I was going to run the carbon fiber paintball tank but now I am going to run the silver longer one. I don't think I am going to need a 4500 psi rated tank.
The more pressure you put into tank the more volume you have as air does compress.

I'll be doing the same on the Red Sled, waiting for both ends to air up gets old...

You're right it does compress, but.. If you run the front air 101 type, it takes 120psi. If you run a arnott.095 it only makes 120psi. On the rear it takes between 65-90psi, depending 1 up, or two up, or if you're big even more. So yes 120psi is way more volume when released to the atmosphere, but it's 1:1 for front, and 2:1 and less for rear.

So a tank rated for 4500 want do any good unless you can produce that type pressure. 150psi would do fine.

thanks Marc....

Or what the hell just pay for shipping I dont like to stock pile stuff when I dont need it.

Good tank mine fits perfect under bag

All the best in your builds
