Looking for a complete air tank compressor system? These onboard air systems come with everything you need—including the air compressor, air tank, pressure switch, fittings, wiring, and hardware—ready to power train horns, air suspension, tire inflation, and small air tools. Each system is built for reliable onboard performance and is available in 12V or 24V with a variety of tank sizes and compressor duty cycles. Whether you're building a horn setup or need a dependable source of compressed air on the go, these full systems have you covered.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN AIR COMPRESSOR AND AN AIR TANK?
An air compressor generates compressed air by pumping it into an air tank, which stores that air for later use. The compressor does the work; the tank holds the pressure. In an onboard air system, both are needed—one to supply air and one to store it for things like air horns, tire inflation, and air suspension.
how many tires will a 5 gallon air tank fill?
A 5-gallon air tank can usually fill one to two standard vehicle tires, depending on how low the tires are and the pressure in the tank. For repeated use, the compressor will need to cycle and refill the tank. Most people pair a 5-gallon tank with a high-output compressor like the HornBlasters 1NM Air Compressor to keep up with demand for tire inflation or running air tools.
HOW MUCH PRESSURE CAN AN AIR COMPRESSOR TANK HOLD?
Our air tanks have a maximum working pressure of 150 PSI, which is the safe operating limit for all our onboard air systems. While the tanks have a burst pressure over 300 PSI and can technically handle up to 200 PSI, we don’t recommend running them above 150 PSI. Always pair your tank with a compatible pressure switch and compressor to stay within safe limits.
HOW TO CLEAN AN AIR COMPRESSOR TANK?
To clean an air compressor tank, disconnect power, drain the air, and open the drain valve at the bottom. Let moisture and debris flush out. If there’s heavy rust or buildup, it may need to be rinsed or replaced. Keeping your tank clean helps prevent internal corrosion.
HOW TO DRAIN AN AIR COMPRESSOR TANK?
Turn off the compressor, release the air pressure, then open the drain valve at the tank’s lowest point. Let all moisture escape. Draining the tank regularly prevents rust and keeps your air system running longer—especially in setups for train horns or air suspension.
