Key Features & Benefits

This thing basically stores compressed air. It's a tank, plain and simple. The air compressor on your engine pumps air into it, and then that stored air is what actually does the work – operating your brakes, things like that. It needs to hold enough air to do that reliably, even when you're using the brakes a lot. It also has a safety valve, a way to release excess pressure, and a drain to get rid of condensation that builds up inside. You’ll notice if that drain gets clogged, sometimes. It’s a crucial part of your air brake system, especially on larger vehicles like trucks, buses, or anything towing a heavy load. Think of it like a reserve supply. The compressor builds up pressure while you’re driving, but the reservoir makes sure you have enough air on hand immediately when you step on the brake pedal, or need to use an air – powered accessory. It smooths out the pressure too, so things aren't jerky.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, brakes are pretty important, right? This reservoir ensures consistent braking power. If it fails, you could have weak brakes, or even complete brake failure. A leak or a failing reservoir means your system won’t maintain the necessary pressure. It acts like a shield against pressure drops, guaranteeing you have stopping power when you need it. You can find a good selection of these, including this 40L reservoir, over at Fixparts Online, but honestly, any reputable supplier will do. Just make sure you get a quality part – this isn't something to skimp on.
