Key Features & Benefits

This tank basically stores compressed air. It’s where the air compressor sends air when it’s not actively being used for braking. It holds that air, keeping it readily available. Think of it like a battery, but for air instead of electricity. It needs to be able to hold a good amount of air and maintain pressure. This one’s a 60 liter capacity, so it’s a pretty substantial tank. In your vehicle, it's a core part of the air brake system, mostly used in larger vehicles – trucks, buses, that sort of thing. The compressor builds up pressure and feeds it into this reservoir. When you press the brake pedal, it draws air from this reservoir to activate the brakes. It's a critical link, really. It works with other components like the air dryer and the governor to ensure the system has consistent, clean air.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, without a functioning air reservoir, your brakes won’t work reliably. If it develops a leak, you’ll gradually lose air pressure, and you’ll notice if that happens – the brakes will feel spongy, and the low air pressure warning light will come on. It acts like a shield for the rest of the system, providing that consistent supply. A failing reservoir can lead to complete brake failure, so it’s something you really want to stay on top of. You can find a good selection of these, and other air brake components, over at Fixparts Online if you're looking for a replacement or want to compare options. It’s just one of those safety things you don’t want to mess around with.
