Will my small homeowner air compressor be able to handle an extra tank? My compressor stores air at high pressure, yet my tools will require a low pressure application; what do I do?
Yes and no. The answer to this question depends on whether or not you have a continuous duty air compressor or not. A continuous duty compressor means that it is able to run for long periods of time (aka continuously). This type of compressor will not have any problems running a larger spare tank. If it is not continuous duty then it might have a tougher time. Depending on the size of your machine and the receiver tank, it should be able to handle it. Just be sure that you give it time to cool off when filling the tank, otherwise you would be going overboard.
