An air tank on a semi-truck stores compressed air that powers various systems, including the braking system, suspension, and other pneumatic components. This stored air is essential for the proper functioning of air brakes, which provide reliable stopping power for large vehicles. Additionally, air tanks help maintain consistent air pressure in the system, ensuring optimal performance and safety while driving.
You have a primary and secondary tank. Certain air functions of the truck use the primary and others use the secondary tank.

When an empty tank is filled with air, the air molecules move into the tank and exert pressure on the walls of the tank. This increases the air pressure inside the tank and causes the tank to become pressurized.

You can use a scuba tank, but that is it.
A diesel semi-truck typically has a fuel tank capacity of around 100 to 150 gallons. Assuming a quarter tank would be approximately 25 to 37.5 gallons, the fuel efficiency of a diesel semi averages around 6 to 8 miles per gallon. Therefore, a quarter tank could allow a semi to travel roughly 150 to 300 miles, depending on various factors such as load weight, terrain, and driving conditions.
