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 9 Port?

The Aluminium Air Tank 5 Gallon 9 Port measures 740mm long, 210mm high, and 180mm wide. It weighs approximately 4.20kg, making it a compact and lightweight option for various applications.

What is the purpose of the 9-port configuration?

The 9-port configuration of this air tank provides flexibility for multiple connections. It includes two centre end ports (3/8NPT), three surrounding end ports (1/4NPT), and four side ports (1/2NPT), allowing for easy integration into your existing air system and accommodating various fittings as per your requirements.

Is this air tank suitable for use with air suspension systems?

Yes, the Aluminium Air Tank 5 Gallon 9 Port is ideal for use with air suspension systems. It provides ample air storage to support load assist kits, ensuring optimal performance and stability for your vehicle.

Can I use this tank for applications other than air suspension?

Absolutely. While it is designed for air suspension systems, the Aluminium Air Tank 5 Gallon 9 Port can also be used for various applications requiring compressed air storage, such as powering air tools or inflating tyres.

Do I need to purchase fittings separately?

Yes, the Aluminium Air Tank 5 Gallon 9 Port is sold bare, meaning it does not come with fittings. This allows you to customise the tank according to your specific needs and ensures compatibility with your existing air system.
