Onboard air

Post by carnuck »

Think it's too much? :P

Actually, it's the gas powered compressor I was going to use but since my sons can't live down here, I'm not opening a shop so I'm selling it.

?? I've run it many times over the last 8 or so years till the old Wisconsin had spark trouble. It's set for 150 PSI. The tank is tube steel @7/16" thick and welded on plate steel ends.

It was built in the late 40s/early 50s.

Oh, by the size of it I figured it'd be like a 300 psi tank, or have most of everything made out of cast iron

I have one just about like that. It has a Wisconsin boxer style engine (with no spark) I gotta figure out what's wrong and where to get parts. Or, swap engines. That might be a good place for the little mercedes diesel :roll:

I was going to swap a Toyota 1.5L in there (less fuel consumption) and plumb the cooling system into my cabin to heat it in winter and a 12VDC 130 amp GM alt to keep everything operating. (only the fridge is 110) The air could be used to operate a lift inside (I planned to go 2 stories underground but the money ran away)

Should be just enough air to activate an air locker I think.
