Upgrading a 2 gallon tank to a 4 or 5 gallon tank ...

by Rick
(Maryland)

Hi Bill,

Is there any advantage to adding a 2 or 2.5 gallon tank to my existing 2 gallon tank VS swapping it out for a 5 gallon single? I recently replaced air horns and they require much more of a reserve. Thanks again - Rick

Rick, if your horn needs more reserve, then the larger tank will provide that.

The compressed air doesn't care if it flows from one tank or two, as long as there aren't any flow restrictions that would slow the passage of the compressed air.

Adding a tank versus replacing a tank may make the difference for you. Which is easier for you to do?

See "Add A Tank" from the sitemap for more info.

Cheers,

Bill
