Wabco 9507400000 Air Reservoir 40L Ø 276x767

Description

The Wabco Air Reservoir 40L Ø 276x767 is a critical component in pneumatic braking systems, storing compressed air to ensure reliable and responsive braking performance. It is primarily used in commercial vehicles, buses, and trucks. This reservoir maintains a consistent air supply for the braking actuators, contributing to enhanced safety and control. Manufactured to OE specification, this air reservoir features dimensions of 292 x 305 x 767 mm and has a calculated volume of 68.31. With MPN 9507400000, this robust air reservoir ensures long-lasting durability and consistent performance.

Key Features & Benefits

This tank, simply put, holds compressed air. It's not creating the air, your air compressor does that. This reservoir stores the air, keeping a supply ready to go whenever you need it – when you hit the brakes, for example, or activate other air – powered systems on the vehicle. It also helps to smooth out the airflow, giving you consistent pressure. It often has a drain valve at the bottom to let out any water that might condense inside, which is normal. It’s a core part of your vehicle's air brake system, especially on larger vehicles like trucks, buses, or anything towing heavy loads. Think of it like a backup power supply – the compressor is working to build pressure, but this reservoir ensures you’ve got enough air immediately available when you press the pedal. It feeds air to the brake chambers at each wheel, allowing those brakes to engage. It also supplies air for things like the horn, the parking brake, and sometimes even suspension systems.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Because without a properly functioning reservoir, your brakes simply won't work reliably. If it’s leaking, corroded, or damaged, you’ll lose air pressure over time and could find yourself with reduced braking power – obviously, that’s a safety issue. You’ll notice if it's failing because your air gauge will drop faster than usual when the engine isn't running, or you might hear a hissing sound indicating an air leak. A bad reservoir can cause the parking brake to fail, too. You can find replacements, including this 40L one, pretty easily at places like Fixparts Online. It's one of those parts you really don’t want to put off replacing if it’s giving you trouble.
