Ugrade to 5gal Airpod

[DTL504]

I orginally bought a level pro system with a 3 gal tank. Is it possible to upgrade to a 5gal tank and 2 compressor using the 3 gal airpod box that I already have. If not do you accept trade in for the 3gl level pro?

The 3-gallon AirPod will only accept a 3-gallon tank. The 5-gallon tank is considerably longer, so it won't fit under the 3-gallon cover.

I'm not sure if we have a "trade-in" program or not (I just build the stuff).

One option you might consider is to purchase another 3-gallon tank and another Thomas 327 compressor. Hide these two units wherever you can on the vehicle. Tie the two tanks together and you basically have a 5-gallon AirPod in a 3-gallon footprint.

From my observation:

1. I can tie into the 3 wires (blk/red/pink) on the AUX tank to the Airpod tank.
2. Add a 1/8 tee between the Airpod tank and Air valves supply line running to the AUX tank.
3. Run the AUX Compressor +/- with fuse block to the Airpod compressor +/- connection.

If I am drifing into left field please lead me to a wiring diagram on how to integrate this into my 6 gal Airpod system.

Thanks

No need to tie into the tank pressure sensor. The pressure sensor is a 0-5V sensor, it does not turn the compressor on/off. The ECU reads the voltage from the tank sensor, converts this into PSI and turns the compressor(s) on/off based on that information.

Basically you want the largest line you can get between the tanks (1/4" minimum) as air has to flow between the two. You can hook them up any way you'd like; series, parallel, whatever fits best.

How you trigger the secondary compressor depends on the control system. Both the e2 and e3 have dedicated wiring for the primary and secondary compressors. The e2 uses an external relay, the e3 has the relay built-in. Both trigger the secondary compressor after the primary to mitigate inrush.

So you'll need to tie the two tanks together, and get the appropriate wiring for the secondary compressor.
