air compressor vs high prssure cilinder
im sorry for english ,but my comp writes only jibrish in hebrew
about electric air commpressor vs high pressure cilinder,i had both and after a few years of use the conclusions are:
an electric comp (hevy-duty "thomas" sold by "asfir" ) was assambeld permanently at engine bay,of hilux,without air tank.
on hot "yom-kipur" afternoon ,finished a trip at "zir -hamizlaot" at moshav idan.before going home,it took one hour to fill 4 31" from 10 to 25 psi.temmprature at the arava was about 40 and who knows how much under the hood
on the other hand a steel diving cilinder of 7 liters at 200 bar can fill about 16 tyres (31" from 15 to 25 psi at about 1 minut per tyre(.
its true,you need to test every 5 years,and if you fail,a maacher cant help.
it might be dengerus,i mada a special cushioned cover for it,and it survived a car crash,without damage.
price? 700 to 1000 for a second hand tested cilinder+regulator(a must!!!) +adaptor for tyre inflating.
i dont like nitrogen,its damages the inside of the tyre.
