EDIT: If you place a storage tank after a solenoid valve, will THE one Pressure Vent Plug reliably vent all stored pneumatic pressure from the system when the release valve is opened? If not, R89 will be violated.
Why would the amount of air located on one side of the solenoid valve matter? There's 60 psi of air contained within the tubing, and that has to vent just as reliably as air contained in accumulators.
