Air compressor

[kams1973]

Picked up this Quincy QT7.5, Quincy 30gal tank, and CH 60gal tank which cost me a cheeseburger & onion rings. Pic ***** I know...

Well, the compressor might blow again some day, but you my friend ****!

Be careful with the CH tank. Most of them are not rated for the higher pressure of dual stage air compressors run. Most single stage tanks are only rated 150-175 PSI for pumps that run 135 PSI. Dual stage are typically rated 200 PSI for pumps that operate up to 175 PSI. You might use it as a secondary tank for regulated air pressure.

What does a cheeseburger need a comp for?

 

[Trey T]

quick clean up of pump or overhauling it?

 

[cvairwerks]

Union rings??? They part of a union suit?

Lol.. probably wasn't originally a match, but I'd love to have that pump on the little 30 gallon tank.

The 60gal tank will be used on a 125psi single stage unit.

I'm just going to inspect and replace as required. The pump is supposed to be in good condition. The Kohler engine had issues. Hopefully it won't be a 'one of those deals'

The pump was originally on the 30gal tank. It was a gas powered unit. I have an 80gal tank it will mount nicely on.

Oh that makes sense.. I really want a small tank with a big pump.. would suit my needs better then my 60 gallon since I would gain back sooner space.

I'll give you 3 cheeburgers and 3 onion rings, thereby netting you a 200% ROI.

Otherwise, .....

This may be stupidly obvious, but keep in mind you don't have to mount it ON another tank.

Mostly to avoid welding on a pressure vessel.

Just on some base NEXT to and plumbed to the new tank.

Probably a "DUH" thing, but never know.

And just as Duh, it could be repowered by electric if wanted. Marc

Good advice. I plan on using an electric motor. I'm not sure if I'll sell it off or keep it for myself. I built a compressor with a Craigslist SB705 that I'm pleased with. The SB is a higher quality(in my opinion) pump compared to this series of Quincy units.
