    Air tanks availability

    Hi all,

    does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can obtain a small air storage tank for an RCABS-R system I am planning to build? I have read through the vendor list, but I might have overlooked it.

    Or can anyone suggest a homemade solution?

    Thanks,

    Robert

    btw, I believed that the tank was the WTC itself.

    I have seen gas tanks being made from soldered copper tubing. but those are for

      Hi Ronald,

      small as in "about 8 centimeters long, 3 to 4 centimeters diameter" .

      No, the WTC being used as air supply is the RCABS system. I am talking about the RCABS-R (R for Reverse) system.

      So, any suggestions?

        You might check out Robart

        You might check out Robart systems. They make air retract systems for planes. I remember their air tank to be about 1.5in x 4-5 inches.

            Air tanks

            If you need bigger or odd shaped tanks try these
            Naugatuck has been manufacturing stainless steel and copper floats and liquid level control sensors since 1895
