Mark from OZ Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hi, I have found an air starter tank from a CH Mack, its 58inches long and 15 inches in diameter, where exactly does this sit? i know it sits inside the chassis, but where?Grant Ducky that would most likley be just an air tank.I think all the CH macks, at least all the ones i have seen were electric start All the start tanks were up near the fuel tanks on the out side........... the air tanks go either side behind the gearbox or where ever they will fit....Mark Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/11820-another-air-tank-question/#findComment-45306 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaddeusW Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 where exactly does this sit?As close to the starter as possible. I have seen them mounted behind the fuel tanks, in front of the fuel tank on the drivers side (right hand drive). Some companies here in the US have mounted a long small diameter tank vertically behind the cab( the now defunct CF comes to mind). Keep the hose short and you will have less problems.

So 168 liters then? Little small for an air start tank, they are usually 227 liters and up. Those tank dimensions sound like it belongs right behind the fuel tanks along the frame rail.
