12V compressor recomendations

so you pump up a compressed air tank?
then use that to pump up tyres ,
sort of like a giant superflate but without the co2?

Sort of but the tank will be permanently mounted and an air delivery system built off of it.

I'm aiming for something like this but on the cheap.

Thats a bit nice, but jees the price isn't,

How do those russian things work with the tyre inflating from inside the cab?

The tank has been haggled down to an acceptable price and will be winging it's way to me in the coming days

Hi

Happy days and a Great idea, have seen a few links where they’ve fitted a tank so it can be used for inflating tyres, ARB air lockers , back up for air suspension , etc

Will see if I can find the links for u

Hi buddy

Is this any use to u

thats for one of the GAZ trucks

this is Goodyear stuff , don't know how old or how good

The incredibly light weight ally tank is here but it only has one port on it

@gstuart by any chance do you know if LR used an air drier in the system pre tank? Mine is off an Audi Q7 but i can't find any relevant info

It won't be incredibly high usage but i would rather eliminate the moisture element of compressed air as the tank doesn't have a drain bung.

Right then, seems the airdry unit is part of the LR WABCO compressor unit



New solution............?

Maybe? Not a dessicant dryer like the others but might be a simple solution.

Seeing that goodyear tech reminds me of internal beadlockers

Hi

Saw ur tag and looks as though you’ve found the answer already as indeed the dryer is part of the air compressor

Funny enough I’ve got one of those dryer as per pic on my 50 x litre air compressor , u can also fill them with incandescent silica, as there’s one connector on ur air tank I assume ur also put a tee in there in order u can drain the tank from any excess water

On that dryer ur see a small drain port on the bottom, I fitted a drain tube on mine , used rubber first then onto a ridged plastic pipe, used the rubber pipe in order it moved easier so as the dryer fills up with an water will automatically drain

Found some pics, I installed a drain pipe with a drip tee, allows any sediment to drop into it and also allows a small amount of condense to stay there , so when I turn my compressor off I blow out any debris or condense straight out the valve

If u look at my combined dryer / oiler ur see the small rubber tube on the bottom of the dryer glass container

Know u don’t need an oiler but was just to show u the drain tube I installed

Assume ur also want a pressure relief valve , if u wants links for the stainless steel fittings Plse let me know

As having only one connection I assume also ur out that at the bottom or side in order u can drain condense and then tee off to the compressor

How are u going to control the pressure , ie installing a pressure limit switch ??, do u know the pressure rating of ur tank

Hope it helps in a small way

Also found some other links which hopefully will be useful to u

Plus installation manuals, just select which ever one u want as there’s a few there
