georgeandlouise1 Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 Our 2007 Dynasty with a Roadmaster chassis has a tiny hole in the front air tank and I need to replace it. I have not been able to find out where I can buy a replacement. I am hoping someone can help me with this information. I will appreciate any help. Thanks, George
Luther Taylor Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 Is that a steel tank if so why not get the hole welded shut. If you want to replace it check out CoLaws Salvage in Carthage MO.
georgeandlouise1 Posted September 20, 2020 Author Posted September 20, 2020 Thanks for your reply. It is a steel tank. 1
Pampero Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 I am sure it can be fixed. Moisture from inside caused the rot. 1
PeterSchweizer Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 If there is one pin hole from interior or exterior corrosion they may be more that may show up after the patch or over time. Plus the tanks wall thickness may also be compromised I would remove it n have it sandblasted inside n outside then visual inspect n pressure tested n repaired or just have it relpaced. I would not buy used and inherit someone else's issue.. just my thoughts 3
ktloah Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Just have someone put a bead of weld on it. They can tell when they weld if there is enough "meat " to weld it.
Chargerman Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 I would replace it. If it has a pin hole then there are other areas that are very thin. I would buy a used one either because you could be down the same path before long. The tank doesn’t have to be the exact size and make. What about the possibility of using a propane cylinder? You can get new ones fairly cheap and have a local shop weld up brackets for you.
Frank McElroy Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 That tank is likely a dual wet/dry tank like it is on my 2008 Dynasty. There is likely a stamped label on the tank from the manufacturer with a part number. 1
Chargerman Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Oh. I didn’t realize it was a split tank.
Frank McElroy Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Take a look at the tank bottom. If a dual tank there will be a bottom drain for the passenger side which is the wet side and another bottom drain for the drivers side which is the dry side. Inside the tank there is an internal check valve connecting the wet to the dry tank. I think I might have part numbers in my file. I'll look.
dl_racing427 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 If the tank has a pinhole rusted in it, it's likely dangerously thin in other spots too. I'd check for a label. If not, any truck air tank of approximately the same size could be installed. An adapter plate could be made if the holes don't line up.
