That would bring your air line volume down to about 0.03 gallons, or 5.88 cubic inches. That's pretty negligible considering a 6" bag at a height of 7" has a volume of about 200 cubic inches.

I agree

I forget where I am some days
I come from the world of dare I say it 'minitrucks' They love to use crazy line , bag, and valve sizes some as large as 5/8" line.

With the smaller line, I think you are correct and the 'seat of your pants' feeling would be negligible.

My Sofa ( yes Sofa ) has 1/4" line with 3/8" valves, I did not worry about valve location, but then again, I do not drive it on the road,
