oh yea huh! DUH! LoL. Cool, once I get the system in there... I think the extra 400+lbs will help
IDK... I would say 10gallons will only give me 2 4-bag fill ups... but then again, I was planing 12 gallons... I'll go place the order

Ok how about this.... What are you guys' thoughts on having the second tank on the trunk lid? and since on the trunk lid I would think black and inconspicuous would be the way to go. thoughts on that?

sorry for multiple posts...
I forgot that I found this 9 gallon tank for HELLA cheap! and will fit fine on the trunk lid (dim: 31x10x10)
Why is this so cheap and should I get it?

How do you up the pressure in the tank? Pressure switch? and what would that do?

good thought, but I found a company on ebay that makes a TIGHT lid strut, so that wouldnt be a problem... or are you talking about the structure? The tank shouldnt be THAT heavy, but either way, I'll be welding in a "frame" or what not across the lid to bolt the tank on, so that should add some rigidity. and NO I'm not going to make a mess of the trunk lid lol, it will be done tasteful and unseen.

200psi is the highest I can find on ebay, what are you at now? I know the UAS system comes with a 200psi. I was floating around on Ebay looking for air suspension parts and ran across these...

Would these be good for my pieced together UAS setup? I am running dual 480's and will probably pick up that 9 gallon tank that was posted in this thread....
Not trying to jack a thread here, just don't want to clutter the forum with small questions like this over and over again....

Here is an adjustable one up to 400 psi..... I ran across it while doing more research....
Anyone have an answer for me on those valves?

Do you guys have air mufflers on your dump valves to slow the dump down or are they wide open? I like the having no mufflers because I like the loud sound the valves make when it dumps air, but I also like the nice soft dump with the mufflers.

I use an elbow type of reducer thingy. Reduces 1/2" from the valve to 1/4". Still get the sound will a slower dump.
