Portable air compressor

I like my portable air compressor, I have discussed a larger CFM unit with PacBrake and maybe more storage than my current 1.5 gal of storage maybe 3 gal.

I love this one. Just set the psi you want and it'll cut off when reached. I run 80 psi in my trailer and truck tires when towing. Just make sure you get the big battery. I keep two with one on charge.

I have a Viair 450P Automatic Function 12v Portable Compressor, and I also have Stanley 115v 6gal. 150-Psi air compressor. and of course I can't find a picture of either. They both work great. and the both are clumsy to carry around.

There is a commercial for a device called "The Air Dragon" on TV, runs on 12 volt, not 120 volt,

I am not big on 12 volt compressors (have 2 or 3) Mine blows the 20 amp Lighter fuse long about 50 PSI and I need 60 for ye old space saver.. But it is enough to get me home to the 120vac Pancake job.. That puppy can hit 150 PSI no tribble.

But I think even my Black and Decker Air station would have an issue on a 115 Watt limit.

One quesiton.. You said that is a 120 volt outlet limted to 115 Watts (less than one amp) Are you sure that is not labeled 115 VOLTS?

It takes 70 psi to get my truck leveled out. Not sure if the capacity of different types of inflators.

WOW I bet that makes for a nice ride!

I use one from Lowes...runs on both AC or DC. Does a good job on both the tires and the bags. As mentioned, the bags don't seem to take much volume.

There are some GOOD 12V compressors used by off-road guys to chnage tire pressure. Nor cheap, but they are durable. Google "12v off road air compressor"

What do you think is getting worn out, gaskets in the pump cylinder?

Gordon - Don't know... It still works - purrs away.... Just notice it is slow bringing up the air pressure. no leaks I can see anywhere...

The compressor side gets really hot after running for several minutes...

I used on my truck tires a couple of weeks ago. It has those tire pressure monitors on it and when the cold sanp hit us I started getting 'LOW PRESSURE' displayed on my console. Went around all of tires using the MV50. Cold weather lowers the tire pressure i guess... All ok now with the console monitor....

I've used this tankless compressor on my JEEP outings as well... Been real handy to have around. It is a Q Industries MV50 SuperFlow High-Volume 12-Volt Air Compressor (AMAZON)

It sits under my rear seat in my truck. Has a nice tote bag that comes with it...

I'm king of the camp ground when the kids find out I gots a air compressor... Sometimes they are lined up getting their bike tires aired up hehe...

I use one of these Air Adapters on my city water port to blow out my water lines in my OFF-ROAD camper...

Roy Ken

115w
1 amp at 115v
I have the same compressor above that Roy had
12v the fuse is either 20 amp or 30 amp, connects to the battery via it's one cables with alligator clamps
200 / 300 watts

Any 120v compressor you buy will be too big for that outlet you have

A quick Google search says that outlet is 115v 400 Watts
But most 120v compressor have a high start surge that exceeds that amount

Note if you had the gmc? Truck with the bed mounted outlet for power tools, that might work

What do you think is getting worn out, gaskets in the pump cylinder?
