Portable Air Tank Placement

[DiscoDuck]

under the truck with a compressed bottle?

what do you think the temperature under your disco gets up to while stopped on a black asphalt road in stop and go traffic on a sunny 90* day?

When I'm wheeling and I want to get out of the heat I have often crawled under my disco to get out of the sun, sometimes even going so far as to take a nap (getting old ). It has always been cooler under there than out in the sun or in the cab (assuming the exhaust isn't still warm). I don't know what it would be like while driving in traffic but I can speak to the shade factor when it's standing still.

There are lots of cool places under there to mount stuff (if you provide an appropriate level of protection from rocks). IMHO

Me and my buddy cheep bastarded a wee 5LB tank and I just keep it in the pass side bin. It lays flat and I have it when I need to air up.

I too have an air tank reservoir from a Range Rover mounted to the frame on the driver's side. I haven't done this yet, but the idea is to mount a compressor in the engine bay and run the line back to the tank. It should work fine.

When I removed my EAS, I left the air tank in place. Mounted a QuickAir 3 in the rear and plumbed it to the EAS tank. Holds about 75PSI and the automatic pressure valve on the QuickAir maintains constant pressure. Then, I installed a T fitting and have a pressure guage and a quick disconnect where the return line from the tank terminates in the rear. Works excellent, and I never run out of air.
