i just upgraded my compressor from a 20 gal to a 70 gal and got to wondering:thinker:

is there a way to piggyback the two tanks to increase my air storage? i have a two stage campbell hausfeld. hate to just throw the other tank away after all these years of faithful air pressure.

thanks

Are you running the 2-stage to 175 cut-off? Check out the rating on the small tank for the MAWP. I doubt it's good for anything over 125. Be careful.

as markiz37 said, pressure rating is the only concern, other than that you can plumb them together for more capacity.
