Default ViAir 2 1/2 Gallon Tank

I bought the VIAIR Constant Duty On Board kit today. Thank-You Bustabizz for the awesome deal BTW, everytime I talk to that guy I spend money.

Anyway, I ran into a little glitch, Where do I mount the tank? It's the 2.5 gallon.
So I'm wondering, where did you mount yours? If you have any pics I'd appreciate them.

I looked down there, I don't think there is enough room. I also measured above the rear axle, the exhaust pipe is in the way. I just may need to get a smaller tank.

Or a custom tank that fits above the rear axle, something that looks more like a large evap tank.

I relocated the EVAP and mounted just left of center and just behind the drivers set. It required me to fab a steel plate so I could reach the body support. I would also suggest buying a compressor mount, that attaches to the power brake boster, it allows for a nice clean install of the compressor. I don't have a photo bucket account to post any pictures, but if you PM me I'll send you some.

That's where I really want to put it, but the tank is 24" long and there is not enough space.
