So I have an A/C compressor for my 22R-E for an on board air conversion and I need to know how to keep the compressor oiled. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> I know the refigerant normally carries the oil, but how would it stay in the compressor if its just going to a bottle?

I use an in line tool oiler for mine

Here is a link to pics of my onboard air set up.

Check out IMG 004 & IMG 005....those are the pics of it installed. I used the FLowMaster air compressor and slid it into one of the rear storage compartments. I put a 3 gal tank above the rear axle, and bent up some 3/8" brake line to run leads to each of the tires. I've got some 4' pig tails....so I can hook up one to each wheel and inflate or deflate all the tires from the rear control panel.

Haven't had the need for it on the trail yet, but it works pretty slick in the driveway.

There's is also an air coupler on the control panel and 20' of hose in the other storage compartment.....for my friends who aren't so crafty.

Need to update those pics too.....Finally got my front bumper and sliders done.

I use a drip oilier on the intake side of the system set to 4-5 drops per minute.

Also somewhere on the internet (I lost the link) was a shop that sold everything needed to convert the stock A/C setup to on board air.........

Sweet I just finished my HVAC semester at T-TEN and I didn't really think about oiling issues til now. Thx ya'll
