Re: Air Tank Placement

There is no rule stating that air tanks must be shielded. However, it is good design practice to place air tanks where they won't get damaged.
Also, Plexiglass is a trademark for acrylic sheet. Acrylic is brittle, and can easily shatter into sharp pieces. Use polycarbonate, as it doesn't shatter. Polycarbonate is know by the trademarks: Lexan, Makrolon, Makroclear, and arcoPlus, among others.
