My guess is that the 5gal tank is used as a reserve and it's plumbed so that when the compressor comes on it provides pressure/volume to the inlet of the compressor. Just a stab in the dark...

No real info on the website ... but by the description of it, it sounds like an accumalator type set-up. I could be wrong about that, but if it is an accumalator setup, then its not very complicated to build.

What will be the price range?
Do you need to add another 5 gal tank cuz I already have 4-three gal tanks that I really like cuz they are polisheable steel. Can I just add the system to one of them?

What im trying to ask is if a special kind of tank is used?

what i get out of the talk is that when you dump the air out of the bags, his system recycles that air into another tank and then when your compressor turns on after you fill the bags, it draws from an already pressurized tank. so basically its moving the air quicker.

Thats at least what i got out of it. myabe im wrong though.

Seems to be the case. No need to buy a "system" for that. Just a little plumbing, some extra valves, and a tank. Good idea though, I'll give it that.

the system does not exaust out like normal systems each system has to be custom taylored for what you are running or you can blow op your compressor he cant explain it to to much detail he is negotiating with some air ride companies to sell the idea!!!
