Vacuum tank outlets

Hi, I want to install a vacuum tank on my truck for my heater valves. I have a reservoir with only one outlet. Can I put a T in the vacuum hose between the intake and tank, and then run the hose to the heater controls? Or do I need a tank with two outlets? Thanks.

Re: Vacuum tank outlets

Nope, that'll work great.

If you pull a soup can reservoir out of a Ford, they have two outlets - one has a check valve. This gives you more of a reserve.

Re: Vacuum tank outlets

Scratch the first part. For the tank to do any thing, your tee has to have a check valve built into it - similar to what Ford used on other applications.
