I'm curious if you find having the extra factory air tank useful and what tasks you use it for. I have a second one that has been sitting in my garage for several years, but I have never gotten around to installing it. I couldn't think of that many tasks that I thought I would do with it. It's too small (at least with the compressor I have) to run air tools, so I was basically down to using it to air bike tires and river floats, so I just threw a bike pump in the back instead.
Bike tire seating needs a good initial blast so the tank is useful for that. Otherwise, there isn't enough max psi and/or volume to be all that useful. Well, it does allow good 100 psi blast for blowing off crud or dust off the dash, but I only had the single compressor at the time and maybe the twin ARB would do better, or a Viar that could put more max psi into the tank, which would of course be more total volume for anything. Air tools of any real use I simply cannot see working though due to much higher output numbers needed.
