Got my frame down here yesterday, and am re-thinking my valve mounting. I did have my valves mounted on the outside of the framerails, within like 2-3 feet of the bags. Now im thinking, that i want to mount my valves very close to, if not directly to the tank, to clean the frame rails up a bit, and make wiring and plumbing easy. The reason i had them mounted close to the bags, is so that they were plenty fast. Well, Ive got 3/8" valves, 1/2" lines, 2 - 5gallon tanks, and 175 psi pressure switch. Would i lose that much speed mounting them to the tanks?
