The auxilary tank in compartment under driver seat on my mc9 has rusted out and needs replacing. Where is a good place to buy this? I was on a trip when it decided to leak. I just disconnected the line at the air manifold and put a plug in. Thanks for your help. Marc
Eastern Marine has the most air tanks to select from in their air brake section no I am not kidding I buy my tanks there 75 to 100 bucks
good luck
Might try Luke at US Coach (888-COACH34) or Sam Caylor in Rantoul, KS if you want to find a used one. Jack
Thanks guys. I think I will call Luke and see what he has. Marc
Marcus,
After getting some prices with shipping included, you may want to check out your local truck salvage yard.
Most tanks have openings and plugs for a variety of applications

But first take good measurements and stuff of your existing rusted out tank soss you can get the correct size, or near enough. Lots of good $deals$ to be had if your don't mind looking and installing it yourself. HB of CJ (old coot)
I found a couple on ebay at good prices. There were literally hundreds listed.
You may not find the exact size, I didn't , but it fit.
Just be sure it has the right size and located threaded openings. Some have numerous openings but they can be plugged.
