Air Tank Location Guide

There are many factors that determine the size, quantity, and location of air tanks on any given vehicle.
Some of the factors that determine the air tank size include:
Brake size
Number of Axles
Type of brakes (drum vs. disc)
This information, along with government safety regulations, help determine the volume of air required.
The quantity and location of the air tanks is determined by the following:
Fuel tank, type, size, and location
Exhaust type and location
Wheel-base
Engine/Transmission (including PTO's)
Other frame-mounted components (battery box, back-of-cab access steps, air dryer, etc.)
Clear frame requests (module 607)
Location specific sales codes for air tanks (module 460)
These last two points are often the customers most direct influence on the location of air tanks.
If you would like to keep air tanks out of a certain area then use a 607 code.
If you would like to specify where air tanks should go then use a location specific 460 sales code.
