Howdy Sanderson, Yes, I have been wondering about the heating effect also. My conventional, 2 horse power, compressor becomes extremely hot. This is not due to...
Howdy Nigel, I am mighty pleased to see you have found my great little site of webness :) . Increasing the air pressure in the tanks will surely make better...
