Andrew,

We tried this recently and it works great. We normally pre charge our pneumatic system via an external compressor so the compressor has to do less work before each match.

On our offseason projects. We put two 44 cubic plastic tanks on there. We get around 150+ shifts via a 5/8ths od pneumatic cylinder with spring return. We normally like to have a compressor on board but if your only shifting your fine. IIRC 217 this year used hella plastic tanks and no compressor? Can someone confirm?

Thanks,

-RC
