Air Tank Replacement
Mike Shumack:
I belive this is your air tank

Use your measurements and check out the Truck Spring web sight they have many sized new truck air tanks at less than half the price of that used tank.

Truck Spring is who I got my front air springs from, good outfit to deal with and good prices.
Mike Shumack:
Just to add - you (we) have "split" air tanks. It looks like a single tank but it is actually two tanks (a wet and dry tank) in one. You can see the seam in the middle of the tank. And there is an internal check valve.
The difficulty finding a replacement tank is that no one uses the split tank design anymore (the internal check valve is not desirable), however you can replace the single split tank with two smaller tanks connected with an external check valve. The service instructions for the spit tank, say if the check valve goes bad to remove it and install a pipe plug in its place then connect the two halves of the tank with an external check valve.

I know this is a really old thread, but I am faced with the same problem of having to replace a leaking dual chamber split tank. I have a 2006 Monterey built on a Magnum chassis left over from SMC. The existing tank is 9 inch diameter and 34 inch total length. One end is the primary wet tank with a check valve in the middle and a secondary tank on the other end. There is a stencil on the tank SMC9531 that I assume is the original part number from SMC. All searches have ended up that this tank is obsolete and no longer available. So, I suspect that I will have to find a tank with close dimensions and replumb the air lines as needed. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I should proceed? Thanks
