reason for 2 vacum tanks? can it be changed?

[chicken]

G'day ,

ive got a 98 gu wagon TD 4.2

Just thinking out loud ,

The two little vacum tanks that are in the P/S rear corner of the engine bay , has anyone replaced them with one tank , with the same amount of volume ? , or possibly more volume ?

My theory is i want this space to put somthing else and was thinking about moving it to a more out of the way spot (that was if i could change the two tank setup to one tank )

Does anyone know if there is a specific reson for having the two tanks or was it a space thing ?

Does anyone know of any reason this woldnt work or any complications invovled in doing this ?

I couldt really think of any problem with doing this , exccept maybe running longer vacum hose so it may take longer to charge-up ? , but i wanted to check if anyone has had any previous experiance with it, before i go changing things (hopfully for the better , possibly for the worst) .

Thankyou ,

cheers , chicken
