Have a old Quincy 216 Air pump that is on a 150+ gal propane tank. Had it running for a few months. It takes over 30 mins for this tank to go from 0psi - 125psi. I know its alot of volume to fill but :(. Had one connecting rod sieze to the crank. Disassembled and found oil passage blocked by melted metal. Should I rebuild or by new pump. Can't find any info on this pump? I did find that this was a 10 cfm pump at 900rpm. Is this to small for this tank? Should I go to a 2 stage pump?
