Key Features & Benefits

This tank basically stores compressed air. It’s a holding space for the air that your air compressor makes. It doesn’t make the air pressure, it just keeps a good supply ready to go whenever your brakes need it, or for other air – powered systems on the vehicle. It has a safety valve to prevent over – pressurization and a drain valve to get rid of condensation that builds up inside, because moisture can cause problems over time. Think of it as the heart of your air brake system. The compressor is pumping air into this reservoir, and from there, it’s distributed to everything that needs air pressure – your brakes, of course, but potentially things like air horns, or even some suspension systems on bigger vehicles. This particular size, 80 liters, is pretty common on commercial trucks and larger vehicles where you need a good, substantial reserve.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this tank fails, you’ll lose air pressure, and that means you lose your ability to brake effectively. It's that simple. You’ll notice if it’s leaking, usually a hissing sound, or maybe a drop in your air gauge over time. Also, corrosion is a big issue with these, especially in areas where salt is used on the roads. That's why this one being aluminum is good – it resists rust better than steel. If you’re rebuilding an air system, replacing the reservoir is a smart preventative measure. Fixparts Online carries a good range of these, and we can check if it fits your specific vehicle if you have the make and model handy. It’s one of those parts you really don’t want to gamble with – safety is key when it comes to brakes.
