Default on board air time :D

alrighty, tomorrow im heading over my buddys shop,
i have 2 5 gallon air tanks, 2 viair 480 electric air compressors and an engine driven sanden 709 air compressor, all are going to be installed and running by the end of the day tomorrow,
fill times from 0 to 200 psi will be right around 2.5 minutes, at idle

tanks and 480s


the engine driven (its the part that looks like an a/c compressor)


and the gauge i will be using to monitor tank pressures from my drivers seat


and the new location for the gauge

the silhouette of the truck shows the frame riding, and the wheels off the ground...

because, the more you have, the faster your tanks fill, thats the whole idea

got the system plumbed, and the comps and tanks mounted and the engine driven all hooked up,only took 8 hours lol

so far holds pressure, absolutely no leaks, didnt get a chance to wire anything, but thats all is needed at this point,
