Hi max
For pneumatics you have to go and see CSSOH page:
http://www.ozbricks.net/cssoh1/
There is few pneumatics on my LEGOTIC site too:
http://mapage.noos.fr/chrismaker/index.htm
And of course Kevin Clague' site:
http://www.users.qwest.net/~kclague/index.htm
I don' t know for what kind of construction you need to use pneumatics...
sometimes you need no tank , sometimes one and sometimes several ones....
You can build your own air-tank but don' t make a "too big" one. When you use
big air-tank you have to provide more air-pressure (and longer compression
time).
But when you have good pressure in air-tank and you act the pneumatic switch, it
acts pneumatic-cylinder faster than with no tank.
Well there is no rule about tanks, but if you really want to work on pneumatics
projects, I should say you need ones.

Chris.
