WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST WAY TO MAKE AN AIR EXPANSION TANK(MAX FISH PLEASE CHIME IN)

I was thinkin the bag thing too. Just have em all hidden somewhere. Or you could just build a cool lookin resevoir out of some stainless tube and polish it up or something.
Let me know If you need weld in bungs. I have stainless and mild steel.

Jeff, on my car, I had cylinders, and on the back, I used an air accumulator that I got from Gauge. It was ran inline, and I added a ball valve like Max said, at the port on the accumulator. I was able to go from the ride being VERY stiff, to far too soft to ride in...all by adjusting the ball valve, limiting the flow into and out of the accumulator. It was the the best thing I did for my ride...and it had seperate chambers for left and right side, and only took up about 15" x 4".

I think a little "Bank" of bags would be sick. Just a thought ya know....

Aren't the accumulators that Gauge sells from Aim? They supposedly have some diaphram between the two chambers, but Im guessing it is just a piece of metal.

sorry for bumping an old thread but nobody has really given an answer. what tanks are you guys using that are not from aim and are approximately 1/4 gallon or 1 liter.

they take there 1 gal. tanks, cut them in half and weld them back together with a plate in the middle. one tank for 2 cylinders.

A small tank is all you need. run the largest line you can, say 1/2" and like Max said you need some way to dial it in. a nylon sealed ball valve would be best. many other screw type valves would leak eventually.
