3gallons air tank from my Peterbuilt air ride seat in back yard, one
high flow piloted air solenoid, one HUGE new air horn from work.
The tank is filled in seconds from a large air fitting that accepts
my shop air line, the 3 gallon tank can run the horn continusly
for some time...not sure how long as you cant stand it after 30
seconds :o

lmao. sweet deal. Most truck stops sell a set of 3 Train horns for like 100 bucks. you should hook that up to your system. How is the air compressor for the tank ran? is it electric? where'd ya get that pump?

No compressor, just a quick fill valve my air hose couple too.
The 3gallon tank has a gauge, still over 90psi after way tom much
use today so it should be good for a month of normal driving before
filling back up :)

Hook the tank up to the ac compressor outlet and put a breather filter over the inlet. Thats how the off road guys fill their big tires up before getting back on the road.


and will be my new tow vehicle for the car...

WHAT!!!! No more towing with the turbo dodge mini van???!.....:wooo :wooo :wooo

Horn looks cool though. :thumbsup
