Richard,

Actually, that is a good question. I am not really sure. I am still researching this deal. I am basing it on what I know so far. I do know it needs 90 psi to engage. I know I need a 3 gallon air tank to allow me enough leeway to air my tires so I don't have to wait a long time to accomplish it. But I don't see how the solenoids could open and close instantly due to the fact that it still needs 90 psi to engage. It would take time even in such a short length and small reservoir area to reach 90 psi. I will ask and let you know.

Doesn't the ARB Locker only use a small amount of air to activate the locker via a solenoid? Once activated, the air supply can be removed and the locker will stay locked because it is traped by the solenoid (ie a constant supply of air is not required to keep the locker activated).
To deactivate the locker, the solenoid is opened and the air is released. At least that is how it sounds from their web site.
If that is the case, the small amount of air drawn from the tank to activate the locker could be replaced in seconds.
