Another benefit of having the aftercooler post tank is that it won’t be subjected to the pulsing forces and heat from the compressor head. I think @brownfox has been through two or three aftercoolers due to pipe failure. Pure speculation on my part but I think part of the problem is the cooler being subjected to pulsing forces that it wasn’t designed for. Post tank you get more of a constant/static pressure.
