EAS Tank

[bowlink]

Hi all, my P38 has a manual EAS system set up. I can turn the compressor on or off, select inflate or deflate, and select each 4 air bags separately all via switches. There is a small air leak in the front that I'm going to repair, but until then when the car is left for 3 days, it totally deflates and I need to refill the tank.

Is there anyway I can know when the tank is full? I don't want to be running the compressor unnecessarily when the tank is full. The switch for compressor has a light that comes on when it is running but I would like to rewire that to be illuminated when the tank is full. An alternative is putting in a pressure gauge somewhere in the cabin.

Also, will running the compressor when the tank is full damage the pump?

Cheers

At the moment my RRC LSE is somewhat similar and I'm considering/thinking of fitting a psi gauge (from the tank to the dash inside), although a set of 5 gauges (1 for each bag and one for the tank) would be even better. I'll be interested to see if you get more/better answers!

My p38 had a gauge in the cab that was plumbed between the dryer and valve block. It would build to 150 psi and hold there for about 10 seconds before pump would shut off.

That's perfect theelms66 thanks for the info! Exactly what I needed to know for installing a gauge
