We prefer the aluminum as well , but would rather have a 2.0 steel than no tank at all.

The 3 gallon fit, but just with slightly less room than we would like for clearance. The one 2.0 gallon aluminum that might have been a possibility had no drain port, so water would eventually build up, thus taking up volume over time.... or until you remove the tank and drain the water, but who wants to remove the tank just to drain it? Not to mention the price would have increased cost quite a bit as well. The 2.5 gallon is a little too long, so the 2.0 gallon it was.

The drain will be located on the very bottom of the tank.

 

Yes, it will be the same bracket design, and have the tank holes there..... so this is possible to do. Just would need the tank and a few fittings to hook it up. The tankless system still will come with the items necessary to remote mount the coupler.

Ask any questions you may have, as that is what we are here for.....

 

Four quick questions:
1. What additional wiring would be necessary to run this off an sPOD? Just one power wire to the relay?

2. How long does it take to fill a 35" tire without the tank?

3. Is there a Presto valve adapter that you'd recommend to use with this system? (For bike tires)

4. What can we do to prevent the tank from rusting?

I'm probably going to order, just looking for a few last details...

 

1) With the sPod, you will just run a wire from the sPod box to the pressure switch. You will still run a power wire from the battery to the large post on the relay. This will keep the amp draw off the pressure switch and keep it from failing prematurely.

2) A single compressor system can fill a 35" tire from 15 to 30 PSi in 2 min. 20 sec. A dual compressor system would fill twice as fast.

3) The fill hose just has a standard clip-on tire chuck, so it should work with any adapter that you may have.

4) The tank is a VIAIR 2.0 gallon and has a coating to prevent rust from occurring. Just drain the tank every so often and you will be Ok. The more often you drain, the better. I has a 2.5 gallon steel tank on my HD truck that was used often during riding season.... I just made sure to drain often. I had the truck for about 5 years.

 

Here is a picture of the AMP Jeep running our prototype single compressors system in Moab this week. The kit comes with bracket and parts for a 1 remote mounted coupler.

 

Since this whole operation is located under the Jeep, how does it hold up to being submerged?

 

The compressors themselves are moisture and dust resistant, and very well sealed up against the elements. The kit will come with remote filter kits, that must be used, to locate the filters in a dry location in the cab. From there, just make sure to not have them running while submerged.

 

Not sure how keen I am on mounting the compressor underneath. To me, there are much better places to mount it than there. I like the idea of putting the tank there however.
What I'd be looking for is a kit that would mount the compressor in the engine bay or taillight well. Will you offer a kit for that or do I need to piece one together?

Thanks!
Frank

(edit): Kit pictures would be nice too.

 

How do we go about ordering?

 

Frank,

We don't sell a bracket to mount the engine in the engine bay, but if purchasing the kit, you can mount the compressors anywhere, and just run the leader hose into the tank with some 1/4" line. Everything will be in the kit (minus some fittings, but we can supply). The compressors will be fine under the vehicle, as we have quite a few customers doing this, and myself personally had dual 400C's under my daily driver for 5 years. The remote mounted intake is the key to making this work properly. They are good, as long as they are drawing in clean, dry air.

We are working on kit photos, but won't have the actual ones until we get the production units back. I am anxious to take kit photos though, and detailed installation photos.

Just give me a call @ 480-442-8136, and we can get you all setup.
