Air Tank leak !!
#15

Thanks you all for great suggestions with air tank problem ! well I ordered new tank from Newell since they had some in stock for 70$ I gave the dimensions and size etc, and they still send me wrong size tank??? its same size capacity but larger in diameter and shorter. Diameter is the problem because there is no room to m mount it since would have to sit on the top of the dryers fan cover! what I did is remove the tank and have local welder try to weld it, he did great job patching pin hole ! I also put bunch of JB Weld glue entire end of the tank.
I figured out when we get back to our home in Montana I can order right tank and replace it!

No, I ran in to bigger problem on the way! I BTW my plumbing configuration is same as Russ's I put back all four air lines back using thread paste for air tight fit. I than fired up the compressor and is not feeling up the tank???? can figure what happened ? I removed air hose from out gong air port of compressor to check if the air is pumping out and its coming out, but for some reason is not going all the way up to the air tank? I check all fittings with sopa/water and no leaks, let compressor for about 25 minutes but again, no air in the tank?
Is anyone ran in to same problem before? we still have about 250 miles to go and need to fix this before hit the road and ended up in our house !
