Air Tank Size? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Slammed '87 · 11-15-2006, 01:13 AM

Just wondering if someone knows how many gallons of air can one of these tanks hold. i am getting one but don't know exactly. If you run it at 200ish psi is that quite3 a bit of reserve to play with? I only have a 5g now and its not enough, even at 200. thanks

approx. every 6 square inches is 1 gallon so measure daimeter and length and multiply, then divide by 36 to get approx gallonage. those are originally built to handle large amounts of pressure, so that shouldnt be much of a concern. if the wall thickness is anywhere close to 3/16 it'll handle anything you plan to use it for suspension wise.

Actually, I'm impressed. I can only jack it up and down once before my system is spent and I have to wait for it to fill up again.
