Went over to join my other club (Kauri Coast) for their Cup day at the Arapohue A&P show. Great day but only 7 drivers so down a bit on last year but the good thing we were always moving. Meant Jayne and I were constantly changing seats. I do recommend this day to anyone that can make it, always fun (Edited for spelling)

Pulled apart on old 230v compressor and rigged up a 12v one into the tank. It works well just need to work out where to mount it on the surf. It is daily driven so that is the problem.

how long does it take for that compressor to fill that air tank? what psi does it get up to?

[keithal]

went on a "tramp" with my old venturer unit
they walked while i drove lol

was along the West manuherikia track in central otago
ended up helping a few adventure bike riders out and carried their broken down BMW bike out to Omarama for them

absolutely stunning views from the top of the Omarama saddle

Takes over 5 mins to pump tank from empty to 120psi. I wound the pressure switch down to 90 though and before leaving home I fill the tank up from a workshop compressor. I'll head up the beach tomorrow and see how she goes.

[Ashohman]

jast asking as looking into onboard air for my truck and wana see whats going to be the best option a/c comp or 12v comp to tank.

Not much, had planned to drop the engibe in the zook this weekend but my mate didn't drop his engine crane off and decided he's ggoing away for the weekend so there goes that plan. Had thought about winching it in off the garage roof, but don't think the crappy little beams in my versatile garage would handle it, not so versatile after all lol

[Jameshunt244]

5:10 to fill tank from 0 to just over 90 psi
Compressor over heated at 6:34 after inflating 3 31's from 20 to 38.

It is a super cheap sca branded compressor so it is probably pretty weak although it says it's 70L / min 150psi.

Hopefully after a cool down it starts working again. Otherwise it's ac pump set up for me.

[hamboy]

Go a/c pump, I can fill the same tank in under a minute at 1100rpm

[Jameshunt244]

Yea I think that will be the plan at some stage, My compressor still lives for now.
