I ran 5-10 cycles of the loop.. Eventually I ran out of coffee :).
If all you do is take an expired or scrap (but not rusty or damaged) propane tank and âTâ it into the system between the compressor and regulator you will dramatically reduce the number cycles required.
Because of the length of air hose I use for projects in the yard I made up a portable reservoir with a discarded 100 pounder that permanently lives on a hand truck. I replaced the valve with a T that has both a male & female quick disconnect fittings. By putting the tank near my work the volume of air flow is not restricted by a long run of small diameter line.
