What is this tank in the back of this 90?

Hi guys

Just idly looking at 90's on eBay, could anyone tell me what the tank is pictured in the back? I would have said LPG - but it's listed as a 300 TDi in the auction... confused

Looks too small for an LPG tank. Maybe some sort of system to add cooking oil or something like that to save on diesel?

It looks like a compressor next to it and it appears to have an airline connection on it so I would guess it's a compressed air tank may be for air lockers etc.

Deffo a compressor and air storage tank. Will be ideal for pumping up tyres to road pressure ofter a play day.

Its for the air horn I would say........says nothing about air lockable diffs on the advert.

I had a similar set up on mine..........

It does say 'ARB rear locker' and the tank also shows a standard snap connector.

Must have been a fair old set of air horns if they needed a compressor like the one in the advert

They ran at 220psi..........Fecking loud! Drained a 4 gallon air tank in 12 seconds or so.
