Hey everyone
So this isn't directly a 6.0 question, but I'm looking for a 12v air compressor and tank to put in my truck with more than 1 outlet. I have one in my f150 currently (for my air horns) but I am looking for a tank that has more than 1 outlet, so I can use it for my horns, to fill up low tires, and one extra just to blow air with.
Hard to find a tank with more than 1 outlet unless you buy an air tank for a semi. They generally have 6-8 outlets. But you have to buy the fittings. and plug the extra holes. or buy a 1 hole tank and plumb it out to 3 with brass fittings.
an air tank for a semi is huge lol. I'll have to look into brass fittings to make a 3-way out of. I don't know what the fittings with the end that goes into the hose is called, but I'm sure with 5 minutes of research I can figure it out. I didn't know it was hard to find a tank with more than 1 outlet though.
Do a quick search for brass cross tee or pipe cross. Could use one port for inlet snd the other 3 could be your outlets. clean and neat.
I dont know what size tank your looking for, but yes some semi tanks can be huge lol. But there is some quite small ones too. ive seen them 8" in diameter and 24" long. Might still be too big for you though.
8"×24" would be nice actually. Right now it will be mounted in my bed because I have a tonneau on it, or in the toolbox if I decide to take the tonneau off. I thought about mounting it to the frame rail like I have seen others do, but with all the dort roads I drive on, and the snow and ice it would make me nervous.
3 gallons is plenty. That's a nice tank. I looked on ebay, but I guess my search techniques weren't good enough. I'm going to pull my compressor snd tank out of my other truck so I can see how I can mount it to that tank. That would be perfect. Thanks for the link!
