Be a little more specific.

What type of air tank?

Powertank? OBA tank? And what are your plans? Running air tools or just to fill tires?

I ran a 2 gallon air tank on my last Jeep with the ViAir 450c compressor. The tank was mounted between the engine and radiator.It was great and allowed me to run air tools.

I can run air tools with my Powerplant compressor but it doesn't have the capacity the air tank had on my last setup. I would've run one on this Jeep but, with the exception of mounting one INSIDE the Jeep, there aren't many places for tanks in the 12+ Jeeps.

OBA tank , fill tires mainly . Getting a ARB twin .didn't know if a tank makes that much of a difference .

If you don't plan on running air tools, don't bother with a tank. Go with a decent compressor and call it a day.

If you're getting the ARB twin, don't think you will need the tank for just airing up tires. The twin is pretty fast without a tank.

I run a 20# power tank to fill tires. Works awesome!
