Feedback on design idea

[esc]

I'm looking for some input from anyone, on an idea I've had for a compressor on my van. But can be used to give my 150L 3phase some extra CFM's when in the workshop as well.

I'm thinking of building a remote motor/pump rig and having a smaller 50L tank permanently fixed underneith to the chasis on the van (I will make sure I dont travel with the tank pressurised)

with this the plan, I've got my hands on a second hand 50L tank and I did some measuring and grinding on the tank and it fits very nicly using the old motor/pump mounts, snug up inside the chasis.

Then I plan to make the rig in a little metal frame, have it so it can be plugged into the two tank conections behind the ply lining with quick release couplers. Two runs of airline to the tank very securly fixed, behind the ply lining, through the floor directly underneith to where the tank is.

then if I wanted to, disconect the rig and take it out the van and conect it up to two other quick couplers on my 3phase tank when I want more CFM's

My only concern was if the length of the tank conections where really long, could it cause problems? I would be using high flow conections

thanks very much for reading!

Depends which way round you intend putting your quick release couplers I would think about putting in a couple of ball valves in to isolate the lines before un-coupling.

I see your point. I had planned to put them so when disconected the tank kepts its air.

Other wise the conections in the wall would be long and you would have to be able to pull the airline out the wall to be able to conect it up.

With couplers on the tank side as well it would be more like a socket to conect upto
