    DEF Tank After Delete?

    What do you do with the def tank after deletion?

    Drain it and leave it on, pull it off?

    This is your choosing.
    Many remove and use it for something else.
    I read somewhere one installed an air compressor there.

    That's a slick set up. I noticed that that there looks to be a removable panel with 3 bolts in it right in the middle of the platform that the tank sets on. Is there a drain plug in the tank behind that removable panel?

    That is sweet!

    I was just asking some Ram cats about this.

    I want to be able to lower my tire press and refill after 4x4 action.

    Can you give me details?

    What equipment and cost etc?

    I have 2018 Ram 2500 Big Horn.

    I picked my compressor and tank to do the same thing you are talking about. The compressor is a heavy duty Viair 450C unit that is 100% duty cycle, I have a 2.5 gal tank and assorted valves, relays, and solenoids. I think I have about $450-$500 in the whole setup. I have a solenoid valve on the drain so I can push an aux button and drain any water out of the tank from in the cab. It works well to pump up tires, the CFM is not all that great (1.8 CFM). I have not had to refill my 38's but I have helped a few people with flats and it does a decent job. I leave it on all the time and when the pressure drops and it kicks on you know it. Sometimes it takes a second or two for me the realize it is the compressor and not some problem with the cummins or transmission.

    Hope that helps.

    Re: DEF Tank After Delete?

    What type/size of compressor and tank did you go with?

    I'm looking to do the same thing as you did.

    I probably want to mount my compressor under the hood and run the lines back to the tank.

    Plan to put airbags on soon.

    Is your setup for airbags?

    If so, what did you end up using for that?

    Thanks.

    I am just looking for ideas.

    I went with this kit.

    https://hornblasters.com/collections...cts/hk-s4-244k

    I went with their spare tire delete mount and extra 2.5-gal tank, "a total of 5gal capacity."

    Super simple to run wires to and from, and you get the privilege of being heard for a long way.

    I threw an air chuck on the end of a tank and an air hose to fill a tire if needed.

    If you're a tent camper during summertime, you'll have neighbors around you asking to fill mattresses up.

    The only thing that went out on me was the pressure switch.

    I kept filling up and blowing the safety relief valve, which wouldn't shut off.

    I do a lot of driving on logging roads and still haven't busted a trumpet.

    Also, perfect for them protesters and Priuses.

    Once it and the supporting crossmember are removed, you can fit a titan fuel tank from an earlier model.....
