Picked this bad boy up the other day. 5HP petrol Honda motor, 200 litre tank + auxilary tank(about 25 litres), all custom built onto a trailer with a little tool box. Takes bugger all time to fill up both tanks, around 5 minutes, with pressure relief valves so you can keep the motor running all the time, but ill doubt ill even need to be using that much air lol. It has huge amount of pressure, Im yet to actually use it, but it takes ages to empty the tanks using the dump valves, so it should last a good time with air tools and painting.
The bloke use to use it to paint runways with, using a spray rail at the back (not included).
The tank can also be filled with what ever you like and pressurised, which is what its inital use was, when spraying runways, but could be used for poisons or fertilizers etc. It has a heap of different uses, and im discovering more and more every minute, but for me its just going to be a big ass air compressor on a trailer.
FUTURE MODS
Im going to regulate the flow into the big tank, and regulate the flow out aswell, just to be safe, dont want this bad boy exploding lol. Also the main tank will have air filters to get rid of the moisture in the air. The auxilary tanks will have one tap setup with a reg/filter/oiler for the tools, one free flow tap just for spraying air etc, not sure what to do with the rest. Its got 9 taps ive counted so far haha.
Will also upgrade the tool box or atleast add a lock to the current one.
Have thought about welding up a stand and mounting a retractable air hose real but im not sure yet.
