On Board Air

These pictures are the result of 2 years of thought, about 18 hours of actual work, and 8 hours of fabrication for the bracket. The York was sourced from Mark Woytovich who pulled it off a Volvo at some bone yard. Jose Rivera from Metro Land Cruisers did the mounting bracket for the compressor.

It would have been infinitely faster and cheaper to go with a CO2 system. However after researching where to get the CO2 tank filled in my area, and having been on the receiving end of a dead Powertank several times, I wanted and endless source of air. I hate relying on other people and the coin-op compressors get old real fast.

As far as I’m concerned, and for the way I use it, the system is great. It will air up 4 36x12.50 Swampers from 11psi to 30psi in the same amount of time as it takes to deflate them with the Oasis auto deflators I have. It will run out of steam when using my air grinder, but it will run my IR2131 all day...as long as I have fuel.
