Where to mount 3L bottle?


Recommended Posts

I've got an air tank with compressor that I'd like to mount somewhere on the car.

 

It's roughly the size and shape of a 3L bottle, maybe a little longer.

 

Any ideas? It CAN be outside the car, no problem.

 

The spare tire well would have been perfect, but I don't want to give up having a spare tire in there. I'd also prefer to not have it in the cabin (for noise reasons, the compressor is a little loud)

 

Any other ideas?

I do have an outback, but I don't know how that's too relevant. It's just a 4th gen Legacy with fender flares.

 

Lol, I do not at all want to have this thing visible inside the car and/or taking up passenger space.

Hmmm, why not right above the spare tire well (Where the organizer is located)? Unless its diameter is bigger than its length...If that's the case then get some plexiglass and make a box to fit in the space between the wheel arch and the backseat in the trunk.

Hmmm, I'll test fit.

 

I like my organizer!

 

The tank is the diameter of a 3L bottle, and ~21" long end-to-end.

 

I just realized that I've had this setup since March of 07, lol.

Hey, it's just a Outback, take one of the mufflers off, and stick it there. :)

 

Most Outbacks only have one muffler any ways.

 

Is there any room inside one of the placstic panels that cover the inside of the fenders.

 

Hey what about in front of the right front tire. where the silencer sits

Front isn't a bad idea! I'll look next time I am under there.

So, if I remove both organizers it will JUST fit.

I can probably trim the organizer and retain some of it.

 

All so I can power these:

Just the organizer trays.

 

The horns are 122dB, not the compressor. It's fairly quiet (it's an OEM Mercedes Benz compressor IIRC).

They actually run at 120psi, IIRC, not 90.
