Airtanks.....

I have two 5 gallons tanks for my F.B.S.S. setup. There are only one output on them. Would my system be quicker if I made an output for every single valve ??? Now I've got one output (One tank) for the two valves for the front and one for the back.

I have one watertrap between my output and my valves on both tanks. If I'm going to get two outputs on every tank I need another watertrap, and that will look stupid But if it's better with an output for every valve I think I'll do it anyway....

ya, you usually want each valve to have its own supply...
also, most people put the seperator between the tank and the compressor...

DOH ! Ofcause... The watertrap between the compressor and tank.... Dammit !

When people use an enigedriven compressor beside the electric ones, do they just add a T-fitting before the watertrap, and use the one input for the elec. compressor and other input for the enginedriven ?? Hope You understood this.... *lol* Or else I have to make a drawing of what I meen.
But if using a T-fitting I will blow air from the enginedriven and into the elec. compressor. Will that damage the elec. compressor ??? Or else I have to add a "oneway" valve. Don't know the word for it in english... *lol* So the enginedriven will not put air in the elec. one......

There is a "one way valve" in each of the original hoses from the compressor. So that should not be a problem. Thanks for all the help here. GREAT !

my opinion?

dont rely on the stock checks in the hoses, but some good parkers or something more substantial...
