Small Air Compressors

Greg Barsamian · 07-16-2008, 09:29 AM

Looking for suggestions to install an air compressor in the trailer to fill Nitrous bottles. Must maintain 115-125 psi. Any suggestions?

Thanks
Greg

Greg,
We used to fill NOS bottles a while back and if I remember correctly the pump was a real air hog. The pressure is not really what matters, its the volume available at that pressure. The NOS pump manufacturer should be able to tell you what cfm it needs at a particular pressure. That will tell you which compressor you need, just get one that will pump more cfm than you need.
