Aluminium Air Tank 5 Gallon 5 Port | Bare

All Boss air tanks are manufactured from aluminium. This keeps weight down and eliminates internal rust, which is a common issue with steel tanks, especially in humid environments or where moisture is not drained regularly.

Yes. Even though aluminium tanks do not rust internally, moisture from compressed air still collects in the system. Periodic draining removes water and helps protect valves, airbags and other components from corrosion and contamination.

The ideal tank size depends on how the system is used. Load Assist kits that only adjust airbag pressures can run on a small tank or even no tank with a suitable compressor. Full air suspension, frequent ride-height changes, tyre inflation or air tools all benefit from a larger tank. Bigger tanks provide more usable air but take longer to fill.

Tank fill time depends on several factors – compressor output, duty cycle, tank volume, system pressure and ambient conditions. Because these vary widely between setups, there is no single accurate fill time that applies to every combination. It is better to size the compressor and tank based on how often and how quickly you need to use the air.

The Aluminium Air Tank 5 Gallon 5 Port measures 740mm long, 210mm high, and 180mm wide. It weighs approximately 4.15kg, making it a compact and lightweight option for various air suspension setups.

The five ports on the Aluminium Air Tank provide flexibility for air management. Two centre end ports are 3/8NPT, while three surrounding end ports are 1/4NPT. This configuration allows for multiple connections, making it suitable for various setups, including air suspension systems and auxiliary air tools.

Yes, the Aluminium Air Tank is compatible with most compressors. However, ensure that the compressor's output matches the tank's capacity and intended use. For optimal performance, consider using a compressor with a longer duty cycle if you plan to use the tank for air tools or multiple applications.

The Aluminium Air Tank offers significant advantages over steel tanks, primarily its resistance to rust and corrosion. Aluminium tanks do not rust internally, ensuring cleaner air delivery. Additionally, they are generally lighter, which can be beneficial for weight-sensitive applications.

While aluminium tanks are resistant to rust, it is still essential to drain the tank periodically to remove moisture from the system. This helps maintain optimal performance and longevity of the air system. Regular checks for leaks at the fittings are also recommended.
