Dual compressor and tank plumbing. Which option (pic inside)
I ordered a kit off slam specialties and I'm trying to figure out how to plumb the tanks from the compressor. There were no instructions with the kit so I laid everything out and got it some what figured out with the exception of how to run the compressors.
Which option will function best? Option 1: One compressor per tank Option 2: Both compressor to one tank These are the bags of fitting they sent and labeled.

This is my first bag setup by the way. It's been a great learning experience.
Pics of the truck being bagged. 64' F100 (I know I know..its a ford, but my daily driver is a chevy). I put a jaguar clip on the F100.

With your tanks tied together, it shouldn't matter since the compressors will just see it as one large tank. As long as you monitor the tank pressure and have a pressure switch in the system, the only difference between one tanks and two is volume.

That was too simple. I guess I was thinking too hard about it.

Yep, looks good either way you do it. Just make sure you have a drain on the tank that has a compressor(s) going into it. Also would recommend a safety valve in the system, to protect the compressor if the safety valve should fail. On a 150 PSI system, you would want a 175 PSI safety blow off valve. We have them if you need them.

I tend to say that a lot.
