how long has that compressor been in use and filling the tank? i want to put one on a daily driver truck with full air ride i have not found anyone yet dailying one of these for air ride its all been weekend warriors ill be happy if i can get a year or 2 before it burns up but ill be happy but im not going to deal with them die every few months with daily use other wise ill install a air brake compressor. thanks for sharing
my buddy that bought her off me has been running it up until a few months ago. was almost a daily driver... so I would say easily 2 years per compressor or more if you keep it oiled properly and cooled. the electric motors, and you will need two of them to do this much, will. burn up in less than two years.... the jeeps I have them installed on are all still running except the one we got from the junkyard.... over 5 years.
Could this legally ve used to power air brakes? I have been considering doing a similar idea but with a tied in oiler/de-oiler that self feeds through a radiator for oil cooling, kind of a self contained system for compressor lubrication. Then id keep a pop off valve on the tank to prevent over pressure go with all solid fittings like traditional hydro brakes, but using air. These mains lines could feed air suspension, and air brakes front and rear. My vehicle is a 1989 B600 converted to a motorhome. Tge engine origionally uses lucas girling brakes, a dual hydro system where one half of the hydro is belt driven off a second power steering pump. My thought is to remove the hydro parts entirely, buy a newer bus with good brakes for cheap from a junk yard, swap my axles, (solid axle front and rear), then use my self contained belt driven compressor to feed the bus brakes. The main could also be modded to feed air suspension as well, which would really smooth out the ride on my old beast. Bot to mention upgrading from cast iron hubbed dayton rimmed wheels, to steel budded wheels would decrease my rotating mass on my wheels and give me better braking, acceleration, and hopefully fuel economy. This bus will hopefully be a little beast when it is finished, a once in a life time vehicle, project of passion.
PAG46 reacts with moisture in the air resulting in acid (This is the reason why it is so important to avoid moisture in the air conditioning system). I think that a better option would be to add typical oil for pneumatic compressors to the oiler
I’m glad I came across your video. I have my old ac compressor lyin around and needed on board air on my ramcharger. My uncle had 1 setup that way 35 yrs ago on his jeep. I knew it had to be oiled just couldn’t figure out how. Looks like that’ll do the trick. Thanks
They will not work for oil. any tool pre-oiler from harbor freight will work. for the de-oiler you want a desiccant remover. thats the only way I have found them online.
@@OvenBak3d360 what engine/bout how hot? I’m trying to avoid rebuilding my compressor. Was planning on putting it rather close to my intake manifold/header on an L6, because it’s a real convenient spot, but was also concerned about the heat. Thank you for your help man

I was told I need 8 valves and I have 4 1/2 and I see your only running 4, how can I run 4 and not get the body roll everyone talks about
you need an intake and exhaust valve for each corner.
this unit has 8 valves.
How long has your setup lasted?
This looks great but it’s far too complicated for me to build, lol.
its really easy and I put it on all my jeeps for off-roading.

No problem!! Glad I could help!
What model or brand is your oiler and oil remover.? Everything I see are just “moisture filters” I don’t know if those will do oil or just water.

Central pneumatic makes an in line fog oiler and a water/oil remover
@@brycemaggio6144 had one in the first use it got too hot and about exploded and the pressure never went over 35psi
@@brycemaggio6144 I ended up packing the wobble plate with high temp grease and plugging the pass through

Thanks I needed to figure out the oil separation. You got that big Peepee energy
I love this idea for my overlander suburban.
How fast does it air the tank up
like 2 minutes for my 5 gallon
