    I need a help to get the right place in my truck (Iveco trakker) to get an air connection to setup an outside air tank to use when truck stationary (engine running)

    I would hook it up to the tank with the #3 pointing to the valve.

    so you want to supply some external source with it? , while truck is parked,

    i would use either connection where you put tire inflating hose, if you need something with better flow and more permanent solution, than would put T point, to one air bottle

    This truck load an oilfield unit with a power pack the power pack contain a compressor fitted to its engine (perkins) to supply air to an air tank. This air used for winch braking system. Sometimes the power pack compressor failed so I need to use truck air system in this situation. I hope it is clear.

    Water is going to accumulate in any tank used to supply air. Therefore the tank with the number 3 valve on it is the best choice. Three of the other tanks would allow higher moisture air directly into the air brake system.
