Discovery 36 A air system

I have a 1998 Discovery motorhome. I am trying to get familiar with the air system. I believe I found the air filtersnear the transmission, but have found only one air tank close to being in between the rear wheels. Where are the other tank(s) located? If it matters this coach has a Cummins 5.9 diesel engine and is on a Freightliner chassis. Thanks

There will be two air tanks above the front axle, and Freightliner has a free help line for chassis owners.
AND of course I can't find the 800 number right now .
I'll find it and repost.
Your chassis , being a year older with Cummins may be slightly different, but here are a couple of files that may help.
I'll find the number and re-post.

Here's the Freightliner phone number, have your serial number handy when you call.

1-800-385-4357
Inquire about joining , Access Freightliner, for online access to parts and wiring info for your chassis.
The help line gave me the serial numbers for my engine and trans, when I called . Important info if you have to contact , Cummins or Allison.

You should find 2 tanks. One is going to be larger, because it is a dual tank. The diagram shows that.
