Parallel Tanks

Is there a way to hook up your air tanks in parallel, as opposed to series? I understand that the benefits of wiring circuits in parallel, but I doubt it applies to air systems. I would think that the moment a failure occurs in a line that is not cut off by a solenoid, the system would immediately decompress. Any elaboration on this would be very welcome.
