[QUOTE="Tom Manchester, post: 24248, member: 82"] Re: Help with 12V air compressor, please. Hey Jack, you'll probably need a bit more gusto to get up to 250psi than a 12v compressor can offer. I know my small 8 gallon utility air compressor struggles a bit to get up to 100psi, and that's with a 120v motor. Might I suggest checking out a used laboratory or industrial equipment supplier? Some pretty nice laboratory grade compressors can be had for pennies on the dollar. Maybe one of those belt driven off of a small gasoline engine would work? [/QUOTE]
