Thank you in advance for any help and effort given. I've been a member for a while but had forgotten my password and finally took time to figure out how to reset it.
So the other day I was trying to remove a Honda crank pully bolt and couldn't with my impact. I had everything hard lined to the compressor with half inch pipe, even my air hose was hard lined into the system with one 3/8 quick connect to the tool. In order to get my crank bolt from haties out I had to take off my water oil separater/ regulator out of the system.
Can I get a T on the compressor and a ball valve infront of the regulator to bypass when needed? Or do I need two ball valves one in front of and one behind regulator to keep air from going the wrong way through regulator. Hope this makes sense. I just don't want 150 psi going through my tools all the time but I don't want to remove the regualot Everytime something needs a little extra juice to do a task.
My next question is I bought a new air compressor ( 30 gallon at 155 psi) and discontinued use of my old compressor (25 gal rated for 135 psi) due to not trusting the tank. My new compressor takes like twice as long to fill. If I bought a new tank for the old compressor and tied it into the new compressor would I have to limit everything to 135 psi? Like wise put the old compressor on the new tank could I still run it at 155 psi or would it need to be 135. Thanks
