Re: Air Tank Placement

The only official rule involving placement of pneumatics is that the emergency relief valve needs to be easily (and safely) accessible.


Of course, there are other things to consider, like previously mentioned, keeping your tanks protected is a good idea. Also having the compressor in a spot where it can be firmly mounted might be smart (They tend to shake and rattle a lot).

The compressor can also get very hot. Good airflow might be something to consider, (or use a small fan, like the ones provide in the KOP, to blow cool air over it).
