Started My On Board Air today.

[getlost4x4]

I've been planning on making myself an OBA system for a long time on my commander. I've been hoarding a bunch of parts for a few years.

Today i started with my tank. I used an old CO2 fire extinguisher bottle for the tank. The tank is aluminum and holds 1.5-2.0 gallons of air. I'm not sure what pressure it can take, i suspect around 2000 psi.

anyway here are some pictures. i did a write up on my website if you want to do your own. i need to find a few more parts to finish it all up, but that shouldn't cost anything.

i just need to find a place to mount the tank, run all my air lines, mount my compressor under the hood, and get a few air hose connections. hopefully next week i can finish it up.
