Frequently asked questions

Are Boss air tanks made from steel or aluminium?

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.

Do I still need to drain an aluminium air tank?

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.

What size tank do I need for my air suspension setup?

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.

Why can't you give a generic tank fill time?

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.

What are the dimensions of the Aluminium Air Tank 5 Gallon?

The Aluminium Air Tank 5 Gallon measures 740mm long, 210mm high, and 180mm wide, with a weight of 4.15kg.

What is the purpose of the different port sizes on this air tank?

This air tank features two centre end ports with a 3/8NPT size and three surrounding end ports with a 1/4NPT size. The larger centre ports are typically used for the main air supply, while the smaller surrounding ports can be used for auxiliary connections, allowing for versatile installation options.

Is this air tank suitable for use with all Boss airbag systems?

Yes, the AT-05 Aluminium Air Tank is compatible with all Boss airbag systems, making it an excellent choice for enhancing Load Assist kits across various vehicle applications.

How does the aluminium construction benefit this air tank?

The aluminium construction of the AT-05 air tank provides exceptional strength while being lightweight, which helps maintain overall vehicle performance and efficiency. Unlike steel tanks, it will not rust internally, ensuring longevity and reliability.

What is the typical use case for the Aluminium Air Tank 5 Gallon?

This air tank is ideal for use in Load Assist systems, providing the necessary air supply for adjusting airbag pressure. It is particularly useful for those who frequently carry heavy loads, tow trailers, or require additional stability on uneven terrains.

How often should I drain the air tank?

It is recommended to drain the Aluminium Air Tank periodically to remove moisture from the system. Regular maintenance helps prevent corrosion and ensures optimal performance of the air suspension system.

Can this air tank be mounted in any orientation?

While the AT-05 air tank can be mounted in various orientations, it is best to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for optimal performance and to ensure proper drainage of moisture. Always ensure secure mounting to prevent movement during vehicle operation.
