Filming makes it look bigger. Thanks.

This aged well!

Yeah baby, Thanks Dean.

Thank you Charles, yep I am 17 miles.

Thanks

It is a lot of air. My son is going to run a Plasma Table with it, so it should work. Thanks Brian.

Thanks Randy.

Thank you Jere. For sure.

In time that will probably happen. Thanks Mike.

Poor man’s version for home shops? Crack open the drain valve so it is always leaking. Unless you are running Dailey a weekend diy shop can use this method.

Something I've seen done in another video is add an airline in between the air filters and the piston cylinders and pipe that hose through a 5 gallon bucket of cold water to cool the incoming air down before it hits the pistons...that causes any moisture in the outside air to condense BEFORE it hit the tank or shop tools... They built a water trap and bleed valve into the condensing coil at the bottom of the bucket so they can bleed the condensed water out into the bucket... Add this mod to the system and it should significant;y increase the lifespan of the compressor and tank as well as any air dryers in between the tank and the shop tools...

@@HolzMichel By running the air through a cooling loop, it forces the water to condense out of the air BEFORE it hits the compressor...so by the time it hits the compressor and then the tank, it's already dry so there is nothing to condense out as it cools in the tank...

Meeing all of our needs, Thanks.

Yep Howder. Thanks for stopping in.

Yeah I thought about it, but no. Thanks CR.

For sure Troy, Thanks for stopping in..

Taiwan, but from the 90's. Nice unit.👍

Yep for sure. The bottle was not what the label said. Non detergent went in. Thanks Les.

Right on Frank. Thanks for stopping in.

Thanks John. From 0 to 125 about 30 min.

@@RRINTHESHOP LOL, Not to bad at all... I used to have a 5 Gal. Craftsman Compressor that from 0 to 125 lb. took about 30 min...

@@trollforge Not to bad. LOL

Pressure testing a used tank with air is not something I’d ever do. The amount of stored energy in that tank at 100 psi is enormous. I’ve seen what happens on tanks and pipelines with even moderate air pressure. Hydro testing is much safer. Fill the tank with water and pump up the pressure to the test limit. Eve n a slight leak will just dump a small amount of water. No explosion.

Thank you Dudley.

Thank you Greg.

Hi Tom. What a good deal. Thanks for stopping in.

Thank you Frank. Yes this is a very quite compressor, nice.

Thanks T & F.

Thanks Very short run, works great.

Welcome aboard! Welding expands your skill. Learn correctly all the welding disciplines, Stick, Mig and Tig, well worth it a skill for your lifetime.

​@@RRINTHESHOP ❤ Thank you and thank you for the fantastic reply!

Quincy makes a good compressor and they are proud of them. Thanks.

We are replacing replacing a 45 year old crane that had a Quincey air compressor . They wanted the new crane to have a rotary screw air compressor . The control board Alone is probably 2k. I speced out the Exact same Quincy ! The pressure switch about 50 bucks.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the tips!

I worked for the company that built that tank, I’ve personally seen one take 1500 psi of water pressure without failure, and every tank is pressure tested to 500 psi and checked for leaks. A 150 psi of air pressure shouldn’t bother it in the slightest.

Sure maybe when it was new

Thanks 👍

Thank you Richard, Working out great. Merry Christmas.

Thank you. Yes there is the smell. I purged the tank with a shop vac in pressure mode 4 times for 2 hr each time. This removed almost all of the smell.

Thank you Adam.

Thanks Tony, Fun project.

Works great, thank you for watching.

Thanks for the suggestion. Thanks Robert.

Thank you Ken, works great.

Thank you works awesome also.

Yes a bit, I might talk about that. Thanks James.

In another comment someone mentioned water filling for pressure testing. That would help clean it out more thoroughly than a vacuum, but it would also be a good time to weld while it’s full of water putting a bit of helium inside to purge air contact with any propane remnants would also work well.

Counter top looks flat but they are not. For under 100$ you can buy a new 12 x 9 x 2 B grade plate. This is probably large enough for to work you will do. For under $200 you can buy a 24 x 18 x 3 B grade plate. This is at MSC. Thank you Greg.

@@RRINTHESHOP Thanks Randy, You verified what I thought. Greg in Michigan

Chips work great no dust. Contact Dudley Toolwright ukposts.info, he gave them to me.

LOL, I will have to think about that. Thanks Harold.

yes, you fill the tank completely with water to purge the propane.. then you drain the tank and can weld to your hearts content. edit: and you need to leave the fittings off so you don't create any adverse over pressure during the welding

Well hell yes. Fortunately I am a very trained individual in this area of atmospheres. Thanks Stephen.

Just felt that that needed clarification. Thanks Randy for all your hard work. I really enjoy your content.

These are actually used lines off of a Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane. My son works on them. They have to change them out on a time basis. Still plenty of life in them, they are rated at 1500PSI and 450F. Good for what we are using them for. Thanks Christian.

@@RRINTHESHOP I am envious, not only cool source for parts but based on my research to date thats multiple hundreds of dollars of awesome lines.

@@GenXPessimist Yeah we use them for all sorts of things. My son has them in is off road truck for fuel lines. I have them for air lines on my milling machine.

No way. We will see. Thanks Scott.

I didn’t know I had to. Quite frankly I only clear things with the wife. Thanks Craig.

@@RRINTHESHOP : I think Keith owns the patent because every thing he paints is green and I was just watching him before your video.

@@CraigLYoung Oh great now Patent Infringement. I will have to repaint.

www.elgas.com.au/blog/1969-how-much-pressure-is-in-lpg-propane-cylinders-in-what-state/ This might help you.

@@RRINTHESHOP Thanks I did not realize the pressure would be that high in a propane bottle

@@methere27 The compressor is only set to 125 psi and the relief 160psi. For the propane the relief was set at 250 psi.

from 0 psi to 125 psi. 30 to 40 min. We will see. Thanks Barry.

Yeah after 20 yrs or so a little valve wear. Not to bad yet. Thanks.

No

From zero to 125# about 40 min.

I do not mean to be unkind, but please educate yourself on a subject before making a comment.

@@RRINTHESHOP I've been selling and installing air systems for over 20 years. What is it that I "should educate myself on"?

@@anthonyhumbert8787 The number of compressors has very little to do with the size of the receiver. The number of compressors or the volumetric output of the compressors is all dependant on the volumetric load on the system, the receiver is sized more for the surge capacity that may be required on the system. In this case the compressor is large enough to meet the needs. Running only a few times a day for 15-20 min. This is very efficient for the load. Smaller receiver the compressor would run 10 or more times a day. The large receiver also allows the air to cool and drop out extra condensate, producing drier air to the load.

@@RRINTHESHOP yes for low volume use it's ok. The problem would be if you ran a high volume tool for an extended period. Something like a big impact, paint gun, media blaster or multiple low volume tools at once. Home shop use you would probably be ok.

Yes

Well that's a nice little air compressor you got there looks a little bit of cleaning and it should be good what size tank are you putting it on thanks.JM

Sounds like a nice compressor. Thanks for the offer. Not right now.

@@RRINTHESHOP well Randy it's been here a long time for some reason nobody wants it it's probably too big you come across somebody would like to have it let me know thanks

It had a very minor leak and was given to my son.

There is a drain.

You will see. Have patience. Thanks Bob.

For sure Chuck. Thanks.

For sure, bigger is better except for when it isn't. Thanks Bill.

Thank you

Oh yeah, then not now. I have had Covid twice. No Vacs and none of there drugs. All fine and in great health. Thanks for your concern. Yep I love those type also. they really smooth out the pulsations of the compressor.

Thank you Alfredo, Yes on the chamfer, but I did not like the High force it was taking to just use the chamfer so I compressed them.
