I'm wondering if sealing the ends of the pipe that froms the top half of an ARB bull bar could form an extra air tank. Has anyone heard of that being done?

You'd have an auto-reverse system
Hit tree, and jet propel you back onto the track.
Actually I have no idea what would happen. I imagine a very rapid depressurisation, but don't image it would be explosive, but then I'm sure no expert on the forces involved.

Definately would have to be welded up, i don't see any kind of plug holding 150psi in there. Also much easier to weld it up then make a plug that would work.
How many use their pipe rock sliders for air tanks?
They would hold more air than pipe on a bull bar.
Thought of doing this when I make mine complete with s/s Nitto airline fittings.

Apparently this is a feature on bentzooks new gravitron rig, thus has already been thought of by him. The theory is that instead of using oxygen he is going to fill both his airbags and chassis with helium. This in combination with his skilled used of the air bag controlls, will enable him to literally cheat gravity and find the answers to the universe.

To adapt an existing bullbar to an air tank wouldn't be worth the trouble but to make one from scractch specifically for the purpose wouldn't be a bad idea. The process to make a commercially available bullbar suitable would be very time consuming may as well just get an air tank and fit it somewhere on the vehicle
