2 things:
1. what about oil for the compress to keep it from burning up? and what about air intake filter?

2. what kind of output does this have? Would it be comparable to say a Vivar 400 or greater?? Only thing I think of is what if you need air and the engine can't run? Say if you are using air tools off road for an emergency??

Overall a great idea!! Thanks for the post!!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />


1. You run an inline oiler unless you have a York Piston compressor (not rotary)it has oil in the CC.

2.A York piston compressor puts out more then you will ever need. The rotarys put out less, if you can find a Sanden or York that have seven pistons and as long as you have a holding tank they will run air tools also. If the engine is not running to pump you have two choices
a. Carry a power tank for air tools (that is what I do)

b. use the old style air tools, you breath air while your hands turn the wrenches, which most people do that on the trail!!
