Are we allowed to have a small (probably no more than 1gal) compressed air tank within the confines of our drag cars?

Not a nitrous bottle, more like a small version of tanks used for air bags. 150psi max. Obviously fastened to the car correctly and all of that good stuff.

Have a few ideas I could use some compressed air for, but if it's not legal then they're not worth pursuing. Can't seem to find any real answer anywhere, have seen a few drag cars with quirky ideas and compressed tanks, but none of them recent.

 

I know air shifters with compressed CO2 tanks are legal, summit has some sort of system now for drag cars that replaces the Co2 with a small compressor for the air shifter

Lots of people have CO2 controlled wastegates.

 

I use Co2 in my car and have for years. Never been an issue.

 

I think the point of the miniature compressor and air tank, was to never run out of Co2

 

Compressed air has moisture. Co2 does not. Hence why you don't see it on motorsports cars. Moisture in a solenoid or in a valve can cause it to stick or bind.

 

I think that has some sort of moisture trap, it's designed specifically to replace the co2 tank

 

Awesome, thanks for the info guys!
