well water system

Hello Everyone,

Okay, I have lived at my country property
for a little over five years now. I am ready
to do something about the pressure system
on my well. I want to upgrade to a larger
pressure tank and replumb everything. The
problem I am asking about a solution for
is concerning a limitation on the size of
pressure tank that can be used. At this
time, I have a tank with an 8.5 gallon capacity
and a drawdown of 4.3 gallons. This tank is
located in a crawl space. The only access is
through an opening between floor joists (16"
on center). I assume this is why such a small
tank was used. My question is: Can I use
more than one tank of this size plumbed in line?
Is the drawn down pressure additive? In other
words if I use three tanks with a 4.3 draw
down will I have a total of 12.9 with a 20/40
pressure switch? I am considering this over
trying to enlarge my opening. It would be
a huge task since there are gas lines etc.
to move.

Thanks,

Tim, Ohio
