I am looking for any information/pics on air tanks installation.
Running the ARB compressor with only rear locker at the moment and want to add a air tank with a air gauge and pressure switch.
It's going under the bonnet of a Vitara.

you could try and find some sort of truck wreckers cause all larger trucks have air tanks for the brakes and suspension, heaps of sizes available.

Which compressor are you using? The older style type or the new Locker only type, if it's the older style the tank on the compressor is far and away enough to run a single locker. I don't like these for airing up tyres as they are too slow and seem to struggle. The new type compressor is designed to run without a tank and it's duty cycle wouldn't be designed for at type of operation.
If you haven't got your compressor yet and want to go down the tank track get a Max-Air or something like that and wire in a pressure switch. Much better compressor that will handle airing up tyres as well.

I am using the old style, but found out there is a problem with the compressor.
It's in getting rebuilt under warranty.
I have another second hand ARB Compressor I brought last week, probley will now sell both old ones and get a different compressor.
Maybe the new ARB style one or will look around at what is available.
