Automann 172.2013 Air Tank – 9.5 in Dia, 1425 cu in, 27.5 in Bracket Span
Quality replacement air brake reservoir for trailer air systems. The Automann 172.2013 is a 9.5 in diameter steel tank with a 22.5 in shell and a minimum volume of 1,425 cubic inches, spanning 27.5 in overall across its welded mounting brackets. It carries a 3/4 in NPT main port, two 3/8 in NPT end ports and a 1/4 in NPT bottom drain, and is rated to 150 PSI.
Signs You Need a New Air Tank
- Rust-through or pinholes, usually on the bottom of the tank where condensate collects
- Weeping or bubbling at a welded seam or head weld when soap tested
- A large slug of water at every drain, or water that keeps returning between services
- Drain valve that will not seal or will not open, from corrosion or a seized petcock
- Compressor cycling more often or slow pressure build with no other leak found
- Cracked or corroded mounting brackets, or a tank shifting in its saddle
- Dents or impact damage — a dented reservoir is a compromised pressure vessel
- Audible hiss at a port boss that persists after the fitting is refitted

Applications
This reservoir is a universal trailer air tank, selected by specification rather than by vehicle:
- Trailer air brake systems requiring approximately 1,425 cubic inches of reservoir volume
- Installations using a 9.5 in diameter tank on a 27.5 in bracket span
- Supply, service and emergency reservoir positions sized to the OEM air system design
Note the two length figures carefully: the TANK shell is 22.5 in, while 27.5 in is the overall span across the mounting brackets. Some sellers list 27.5 in as the tank length, which is incorrect. Match cubic inch capacity first, since the OEM calculated it from the total air system design and fitting a smaller reservoir is a compliance failure rather than a cost saving. Then confirm the bracket span against your frame rail mounting points. A drain valve is not included. An air brake reservoir is a DOT-regulated pressure vessel under FMVSS 121 — welding a repair on a corroded tank is not an acceptable fix.

Damaged Shipments
All Pro Truck Parts is not responsible for damage that occurs in transit - responsibility for damaged shipments lies with the carrier. However, we are glad to assist by filing a claim with the carrier on your behalf.
If your package arrives damaged, please do the following:
- Refuse delivery if the package is visibly damaged at the time of arrival, and note the damage with the driver.
- If the damage is discovered after delivery, photograph the outer packaging BEFORE opening the box, then photograph the contents showing the damage.
- Keep all original packaging, including boxes, packing materials, and labels. Carriers may require an inspection before approving a claim.
- Notify us within 48 hours of delivery by submitting a damaged shipment report at help.allprotruckparts.com/damaged-shipment.
Once a claim has been filed, resolution is determined by the carrier. Refunds and replacements for damaged shipments will only be issued after the carrier approves the claim. Failure to report damage within 48 hours, discarding the original packaging, or opening a visibly damaged package without photographing it first may result in the carrier denying the claim, in which case we are unable to refund or replace the item.
