AIR TANKS

Types of air tanks

There are three main types of air tanks available. Each type is designed to serve a different purpose. The most common variety is an aluminium air tank, followed by fibreglass and then steel versions. Steel tanks are typically made from recycled materials and have a much longer lifespan than fibreglass or aluminium varieties—ideal if you're looking to save money in the long run, although they're more expensive upfront. That's not necessarily a bad thing though since you'll probably want to use your air tank for years to come. Choose your style and construction material wisely, as some tanks work better in certain situations than others. There are also two main types of valves that can be found on top of an air tank: automatic (sometimes called swing) valves and manual swing valves.

How to choose the right size of air tank

With air tanks, bigger isn’t always better. You may not have any problems with your current air tank, but is it time to replace it? To figure out what size you need, it's a good idea to calculate how much air your truck or fleet will consume in an average year. You can do that by multiplying gallons used per minute times minutes driven per year. After you know how many gallons of compressed air your vehicle uses in a year, look at what size tank is recommended for your needs. If you choose a larger tank than recommended, you'll waste money because more of its capacity will go unused; if you go too small, then you run a risk of having to refill it more often than necessary. This is one situation where bigger isn't always better! When replacing an air tank on a truck or trailer it is important to change it like for like, for example, the size and capacity are important to the way your truck works. If you are unsure, you can drop Truck Spares 365 a message with your vehicle registration, and we will ensure you get the correct replacement.

Installing your new air tank

Once you’ve purchased your air tank, here are a few steps to help you get it set up. As always, we suggest working with a certified mechanic to make sure everything goes smoothly. If you’re lucky enough to have an auto parts store or junkyard near you that specializes in your make and model, they should be able to help out as well. Most replacement air tanks will come in kit form; if so, install any new brackets or mounting equipment along with new hoses and wires (if applicable). Next, bolt or clamp on the tank itself and connect it to any sensors or other parts that need replacing. There may be additional instructions included with your tank; read them carefully before doing anything else. Most air tanks on HGV’s are secured with straps, these are steel bands that wrap around the tank and secure it to the truck or trailer.
