I'm just about to fit a new tank too when the weather warms up a bit. Could I get away with just fitting the old Voss (the smaller bit with the olive) into the bigger bit that came with the tank?

Hi
Thanks for all the advice.
A week back the "dreaded" yellow air suspension fault light came on.
Ran the diagnostics -the usual error about pressure rising too slowly.
I have Blackbox solutions diagnostics and watched to gallery pressure slowly rise to 1076 kpa then the compressor switched off - it had been running too long and had not reached operating pressure - I think its about 1700 kpa does anyone know for sure?
6 years ago I replaced the Hitachi compressor with an AMK a flashed the ECU with the AMK software.
Since then its only done 16000 miles so I thought an air leak more likely than a faulty compressor.
Spent most of this afternoon under the D3 with a soapy water spray and worked my way from the compressor to the air tank.
Right at the front of the air tank I get a load of bubbles so it looks like a new air tank.

Thanks for the link re-gallery pressures
1780 kpa max gallery pressure about 18 bar in the tank.
mine never got above 1076kpa and that took so long that the ECU shut the compressor off.
I just hope that all the overrunning of the compressor due to the leak in the air tank has not damaged the compressor.
I have read that the AMD software puts less stress on the compressor.
Decided to go for a genuine LR tank about £200
