The sanden compressors will still run fine if you just give them a good squirt of oil now and then. I have been using a sanden to run air tools from my landy for a while now. An air tank will seperate the oil from the air well, as long as the air line from the compressor, and the outlet on the tank are seperate.Quote:

more things to keep an eye out for at the scrap yard!

Blknight, I LOVE your compressor. just the danger of probably almost getting killed everytime you use it (belts, moving parts, high pressures, current, explosions and fire! especially if located near to fuel tanks!!) make a mundane task of reinflating tires exciting!!

others work just as well but need some minor mods to make the suitable for long term use
as for getting killed when using it.
Welcome to australia, you might accidentally get killed anyway might as well have it happen having some fun.

The only problem with aircon ones is if you already have air con compressor to run, oh i don't know.. air con !
I've got a Bushranger compressor and was going to set up a reservour tank in the 130 just need to work out what bits I'll need, what size air tank etc.
"stick it where it fits"
and.
"make it as big as possible!"
eyeball engineering =)
I am thinking a scuba tank will fit the bill. being aluminium, thin, but long, and of a decent capacity.

I have this type
BOSS Air Compressor PX-07
They do draw alot of power but they are very good units plus I have a 24L tank and 130psi pressure switch

if your looking for york compressors try 2 series volvos their a bit more common than people think
2 series volvos - you mean the air con compressors from those, or did they have some sort of useless EAS ?
We're talking 75-85 model years here, 4 cylinder volvos had York air con compressors on them. No EAS, they are just a swedish kingswood you know.Quote:
