Curious about the pressure/cfm required to keep an ARB air locker actuated, can this be supplied by a 2.5 gal tank at 120 p.s.i.?
I am guessing the locker does not likely consume air per se, it just uses it to engage and stays that way until the pressure is removed.
If a tank system has no leaks, could it keep the locker engaged indefinitely?
I have an MV-50 I use for tires but don't feel like installing it and plumbing it. When it dies, I'll reconsider replacing it or upgrading.
I'm happy to use it (or the shop compressor) to fill a 2.5 gal. tank that would pressurize the locker, as long as I didn't need to stop and refill the tank every hour to keep the lockers available.
Anyone tried this? I've only read about systems using regulated CO2 tanks, not low pressure (150 p.s.i. max) tanks-
