I'm in the process of gathering up the stuff to put onboard air in my YJ. My question is, Do I need a tank? Won't the compressor put out enough air to run my tools or air up my tires?
I'm using a York air conditioning compressor for a pump.
I already have a 3 gallon tank I could mount, but I want to see if it's necessary first.

Your going to want it as something to mount the pressure blow off and on/off switch as well as a buffer. The AC compressors are capable of 300 PSI or more, with just a line on it it will be hard to keep the pressure in a useable range. You can use some 3" pipe along the frame as a way to get a fitting to the rear and as a tank...

a great number of the ranchers down here in thorn country use a pipe bumper for a tank. I had not seen a pipe along the frame but that is an idea worth looking into also. Big Jim <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

If it is ran with the frame it is protected from large boulders and such. If it is galvanized pipe, it should take a good beating...
