So...I was thinking and hashing out ideas with a friend. What if an additional tank was connected to the air pack, utilizing 1 way valves, such that should an air line spring a leak, this additional tank would provide emergency air for stopping? It would be a redundancy system and activated by loss of pressure.
Depending on the size of the tank, could even provide a few stops.
I've been looking, the deuce tanks are rated to 250psi, and I'm not adverse to using them, only finding a spot to mount 2 and the cost of the tanks/brackets is a little steep. Many modern tanks have brackets built in, but mostly I'm seeing 200psi. Going with 1 larger tank
(I have an air dryer, so I don't need a second tank to collect moisture) would be easier to find a spot to mount.
With the understanding that, yes, I don't deserve and/or am not educated/skilled enough to drive this truck, what other CONSTRUCTIVE suggestions might someone have about this topic? Is there a reason why this won't work?
Has this come up already?
