Key Features & Benefits

This basically holds compressed air. It's a tank, plain and simple. It receives air from the compressor—that’s the pump that builds the pressure—and stores it, ready to be used when you need it. It also helps smooth out any fluctuations in pressure. Think of it like a little buffer; it keeps things steady. It has a drain valve on the bottom to let out any moisture that builds up – moisture is the enemy of air brake systems. In your vehicle, it’s a core part of the air brake system. The compressor builds pressure and sends it here. From the reservoir, the air is distributed to everything that needs it: the brakes, of course, but also things like the air suspension, the horn, and sometimes other accessories. It’s the central storage point for the entire system.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It’s crucial for safety, honestly. If this tank isn’t holding enough air, or it’s leaking, your brakes won’t work properly—or at all, eventually. It acts like a shield, making sure you have enough pressure available for multiple brake applications without the compressor having to work overtime during a critical stop. You’ll notice if it’s failing, usually; the brakes will feel spongy, or the air compressor will run constantly trying to keep up. A leaking reservoir will slowly lose pressure when the engine is off.
