Wanting to know best way to set this up,
ARB compressor used for tyre inflation and lockers (rear locker only)
About to install a 15ltr Aluminium tank under rear tray.
Can I tap into the ARB compressor at the tyre inflation side or utilise the open locker port to run into the 15ltr tank.

Anyone know?

Watching with interest

Yes, I have run straight from compressor (Under bonnet) ran hose down chassis rail to the back where i have an 18 litre tank then from the tank i have run to a Tee and have two outlets one each side of the cab for easy access.

Boofbeast, so is that the single cylinder ARB compressor they normally install for lockers? How long does it run to build up 18L of air?

Yes mate, it would take around 1 1/2 to 2 minutes never timed it....might do it!! all up it would be around 20 litres tank+hose.

Nice set up mate.
Can you give me the specs on that - Pressure Switch, Release valve, Check valve??
Size of the Air line.

Not on the hilux but on a previous prado I just ran the hose to the tank from the spare locker fitting with the same style push in fittings. Spare parts places sell it as truck brake hose I believe. No extra switches or valves.

Could you just tee into one of the fittings? I have F & R locker so no spare fitting.

Yeah definitely. As long as there's enough room around the solenoid. Or could take the silver manifold piece off the compressor and tap a third thread inbetween the other two.
