Let's see the OBA systems

[Buck]

I did a search and came up with nothing. I'd like to see your on board air systems. We were out last night and my cheap portable compressor popped the fuse and got so hot it put a small blister on my hand when i bumped it. Interested in everything from portable to hard systems with a tank.

So let's see some pics!!!

Your wish is my command.

Very nice thanks!

Anyone running a tank system?

Here's mine. I only use it to fill tires. I've had this for about 5 years. Still works fine.

My Jeep was originally non ac but I have the mount for the compressor. I was going to do a sanden and I still might, but decided to do a co2 tank now. I found the fixed regulator for $45 on amazon. Already have the hose. Two quick grips for a fire extinguisher for $7 a piece. I found a store near my work that will fill a 10lb tank for $12 bucks. I’m picking up the. Aluminum tank for a beverage store near me for $80 not sure if it’s with the handle or not. Amazon has them with handle for $100. Around $150 for a portable system to have in any car. Heck pick up an extra tank for long trips. Or the mv1050 posted above for just in case.

I’ll get some picks up when I get the tank this week

Got a Sanden AC compressor from a Cherokee from a junkyard

.
Made my own mounts, rerouted belt, clocked tensioner.

Moved the alternator down and out a few inches

Jesus, I need to detail my engine compartment. This is embarassing

Engine might be dirty, but that sure is a clean installation!

York style here.

Some nice setups. I think I'm going to rewire my pump, see if I can get a little more life out of it. I'll put some money back to get a better pump later.

York also, and have quick couplers up front and rear

I had a York F210 compressor OBA in my previous TJ and now run a 10 lb. aluminum CO2 tank that cost $180 or so in parts to put together. The tank was only $90 or so online from a commercial beverage dispensing equipment dealer. The regulator was $50 plus small misc. parts for a very easy/inexpensive CO2 tank setup. Both are very fast, either will refill four 35" tires from 8 psi to 25 psi in about 5 minutes total.

Is that a check valve directly off the compressor? I assume there is no problem with heat on the valve?

I'm about to replumb mine and want to put the check valve right at the outlet, but valve I have has a little plastic(?) ball and I'm not sure what temp it will handle

The air is really hot coming right off the compressor, I wouldn't install anything with plastic content close to it. My first air hose, a standard vinyl air hose for air tools, melted and blew a hole in it a few inches from the compressor. I ended up replacing it with high-temp Goodyear hose which held up fine. I mounted the check valve next to the air tank 6-8' away so the air had time to cool a little by the time it got there.

It's a check valve with a bleed on the pump side. The pump head is not pressurized when not in use, but the line after stays pressurized.

It looks like that isn't my current arrangement. I'll get a pic soon.
