Shopping for a Tank 300 air pump switch kit in Australia? First separate the controls and mounting hardware from the compressor that inflates your tyres.
This guide explains the two options on our Tank 300 air pump switch listing and the checks to make before ordering. It is a buying guide, rather than a vehicle-specific wiring tutorial.
What is included in a Tank 300 air pump switch kit?
The current listing offers two choices. Neither includes an air pump. The switch and bracket organise a compressor installation; they do not produce compressed air by themselves.
| Listed option | What the option name specifies | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| A-pillar switch integration | Switch integration, without an air pump. | Compressor compatibility and the full supplied-parts list. |
| A-pillar switch + tailgate bracket | Switch integration plus an air pump bracket; pump not included. | Compressor mounting pattern, bracket rating and vehicle fitment. |
Do not infer the whole contents from a gallery photo. Ask which hoses, fittings, harness, relay, fuses and fasteners are included with your selected option.
Portable compressor or an onboard setup?
Choose the setup around how you inflate tyres. An A-pillar switch is useful only as part of a compatible compressor system; it does not improve an unrelated portable unit on its own.
Occasional tyre top-ups
A portable compressor may suit you if you want to move it between vehicles. Check its power connection, storage space and hose reach.
Regular off-road trips
An onboard setup keeps the compressor mounted and the controls accessible. Confirm electrical compatibility, mounting and access before fitting.
You already own a pump
Start with its model and specifications. Match the control and bracket to that unit, rather than buying by the Tank 300 badge alone.
Check the compressor’s duty cycle and instructions for your tyre-inflation task. Use the vehicle’s tyre-pressure placard and handbook; this guide does not prescribe one pressure for every road, tyre or load.
Check Australian fitment before you order
For an Australian vehicle, confirm right-hand-drive fitment as well as the build date and powertrain. Petrol, diesel, HEV and PHEV descriptions must not be treated as proof that the same trim and wiring suit every version.
- Build date and exact vehicle variant.
- Right-hand-drive configuration and photos of the proposed switch area.
- Compressor model, dimensions and manufacturer specifications.
- Existing accessory wiring or mounting changes.
- VIN if needed for a parts compatibility check.
Send these details through the product fitment enquiry or contact our team before purchase. Ask for confirmation of the selected option, rather than a general “fits Tank 300” answer.
For genuine accessories, consult GWM Australia’s Tank 300 accessory range. Its compatibility check is separate from confirmation of an aftermarket switch or bracket.
Power, wiring and tailgate mounting checks
A 12V label alone does not show whether a socket, switch or harness can supply your compressor. An auto electrician can check the proposed circuit against the actual compressor specifications.
| Check | Ask the supplier or installer |
|---|---|
| Compressor load | What are the running and start-up requirements, and does the control system suit them? |
| Circuit protection | What wiring, fuse and relay are required, and which parts come with the option? |
| Vehicle connection | Which connection point and vehicle-specific diagram will the installer use? |
| Switch placement | Does the trim fit the RHD vehicle without interfering with airbags, visibility or controls? |
| Tailgate bracket | Which compressor mounting pattern and total fitted mass can it support? |
| Hose and door clearance | Can the system operate without pinching hoses or obstructing normal door movement? |
The listing does not establish the circuit ratings or bracket load capacity for your planned setup. Obtain those specifications before fitting; a photo cannot demonstrate electrical compatibility or door-load approval.
Tank 300 switch and bracket options
Compare the switch-only option with the switch-plus-tailgate-bracket option. Both exclude the compressor; vehicle and compressor compatibility still need confirmation.
Budget for the complete setup in Australia
The price of the switch option is only one part of an onboard system. Ask for an itemised fitted quote, and confirm the currency shown for your selected market at checkout.
| Budget item | Include in your quote |
|---|---|
| Switch option | Exact option and current checkout price. |
| Compressor | Compatible unit if you do not already own one. |
| Electrical and mounting parts | Any required parts not supplied with the option. |
| Installation | Wiring, mounting and commissioning labour. |
| Delivery and checkout charges | Total payable in the displayed currency, including applicable charges. |
This guide does not convert a USD list price into an Australian fitted price or use an unrelated tow bar or bash plate as a cost benchmark. Keep the quote specific to the compressor system you intend to buy.
Warranty and consumer rights
Ask what the supplier covers, what the installer covers and how the proposed work affects the relevant vehicle warranty terms. “Plug-and-play” is not a guarantee that every warranty claim remains unaffected.
The ACCC explains warranties and consumer guarantees as separate protections. A voluntary warranty cannot remove the basic consumer rights that apply under Australian Consumer Law.
Modification requirements depend on the work
The Australian Government’s VSB 14 guidance separates technical requirements from state and territory approval processes. Check the requirements for your proposed installation in the jurisdiction where the vehicle is registered.
For example, NSW modification guidance distinguishes minor from significant modifications. This is not a determination that every air pump switch or bracket requires certification, or that this particular kit is approved.
Choose your option before placing the order
- Identify the compressor. Have its model and installation requirements ready.
- Choose the listed option. Decide whether you need the switch alone or the additional bracket.
- Confirm the vehicle fit. Check the RHD trim, powertrain and build date.
- Resolve the wiring and mounting details. Get the required specifications and an installation plan.
- Check the total quote. Separate the switch, pump, additional parts and fitting.

Tank 300 air pump switch kit FAQ
Does the Tank 300 air pump switch kit include a compressor?
The two options on the EVparts4x4 listing both exclude the air pump. Choose and budget for a compatible compressor separately.
What is the difference between the two listed options?
One option is the A-pillar switch integration. The other adds a tailgate air pump bracket. Confirm the full supplied-parts list, including any hoses, connectors, wiring and fixings, for the option you select.
Will it fit my Australian right-hand-drive Tank 300?
Ask for confirmation against your build date, powertrain and right-hand-drive trim. Send photos of the proposed switch location and your compressor details; a Tank 300 model name alone does not establish compatibility.
Can I use the cargo-area 12V socket for an air compressor?
Only use a power connection permitted by the compressor instructions and within the vehicle circuit rating. Confirm the socket rating in the handbook and have the actual compressor load checked; do not assume every 12V compressor can use an accessory socket.
Can the bracket carry any compressor on the tailgate?
No universal mounting or load capacity is established by the listing. Confirm the compressor footprint, total fitted mass, bracket rating, fixings and door clearance before installation.
Will a plug-and-play switch kit leave my GWM warranty unchanged?
Do not treat plug-and-play wording as a warranty guarantee. Ask how the proposed installation affects the relevant vehicle warranty terms. Australian consumer guarantees are separate from voluntary warranties.
Is this the same as a genuine GWM accessory?
The EVparts4x4 product is an aftermarket listing. A Tank 300 product name does not make it a genuine GWM part; check the official accessory range and ask a dealer about VIN-specific options.
How much should I budget for the complete setup?
Add the selected switch option, a compatible compressor, any required electrical and mounting parts, installation and delivery. Confirm the checkout currency and total charges rather than treating the switch price as the fitted compressor-system cost.
Do I need certification for this modification in Australia?
That depends on the work and the jurisdiction. National VSB 14 does not replace state or territory approval processes. Check the applicable requirements for your planned installation; this guide does not classify every switch or bracket fitment as requiring certification.
Can one compressor supply tyres and differential lockers?
Do not assume a tyre-inflation setup is suitable for lockers. Confirm the compressor and air-system requirements for each accessory with its supplier before combining them.
