vulcan bomber Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 What do you plan to use it for? Inflating tyres or running powertools and so on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 do you know what the output of the D2 compressor is like? AirCon pumps are said to be very hi flow, i haven't got mine up and runnning yet, the belt i bought didn't seem to be long enough... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elbekko Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Don't use the air suspension compressor, they're not made to handle airing up tyres and such. They can give a lot of pressure, but have a pretty low duty cycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacr2man Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 The aircon pump will give you all the air you need esp with a old CO2 fire extinguisher or such like as a tank You will need suitable high pressure/hot temp hose , a inline oiler if using for power tools etc . safety valve , and a pressure cutout switch in the power feed .

zim Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 You can't effectively run tools (impact wrench, drill etc) from an air con pump in my opinion. Sorry. (yes i have a tank). G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 10 litre tank on mine and the rattle gun will happily knock the wheel nuts off. If you need a bit more air, just wedge a stick on the throttle!
