THEn don't run a tank.

But every little bit helps, so if you can save space by making tanks from sliders, bumpers, rollcage, you've saved space for a real tank- and that much more storage.

It will fill up a locker fast, or air up a camp mattress, or air up an aired down tire, run an air tool for a short while, or potentially seat a bead on a total flat.

A brass (manual) 1/4" ball valve on a manifold to close off the air to the tanks after they get used up. That way, compressor air will go to just filling up what you want. Look in the Plumbing aisle at local home center.

What all do I need to run 1 arb, and an air line off of a co2 tank?


A lesson learned late, is still a lesson learned.

To run an ARB off of CO2 you're going to need a GOOD pressure regulator and a relief valve. The ARB wants around 85psi.

If you get a good high flow regulator designed for filling tires from CO2 then that is all you would need, other than the tank, air lines, relief valve, etc.

If you overpressurize the ARB system you'll blow out the o-rings and have to tear your axle(s) apart.
