SupporterMy tank is a 22L jobbie from those supercheap compressors...
So it has three input/ouputs plus a drain at the bottom.
I bolted it to the floor of the DS sill and with an Al guard it sits just higher than chassis rail.

Well for the last week or so I feverishly worked on the finishing touches to prepare my rig for the desert trip.
All looked good but just as I was about to leave on Thursday night the engine shuddered, ran really rough so was turned off. It failed to start after that! Great timing......
So I had a choice of staying home and finding out what the problem was or going to the desert, I chose to go the desert. But meant I didn't get to drive or test the air compressor.
As soon as my car is running we will be taking a trip to Big desert again to be able to test it fully.

Well it's been a long time coming but I have finally got out on another decent 4WD trip so got to try out the the newly tweaked compressor.
The compressor is the same but Steve (Madana) got to improving lubrication and air flow.
I was happy with the Big Red air compressor I had but am absolutely rapped having this motor driven one.
The actual pump times will need to be recorded but I was done in about 4 minutes for all tires from 24PSI to 50PSI. The longest time taken is actually getting the hose out, walking around to each tyre undoing the valve etc.
Happy 4WD'ing

I installed my system today. It gets air from the air filter, to a Sanden SD 6 compressor. The compressor is fitted with a check valve, the pipe goes to the tank. Tank is about 30liter under the body and feeds a quick coupler at the diesel filler cap. The circuit activate from the cab with a switch and I fitted a pressure gauge, the gauge fed trough the firewall.
I am sure everything is air tight. Imagine the let down when I ran it for 10 minutes and about no air was in the tank. It was like an asthmatic mouse with emhysemia. I disconnected the pipe from the compressor and the flow is pathetic
The compressor is a 6cylinder Sanden working with a wobbly plate.
Any ideas?
