The nice thing about the bigger tank, you can fill the big tank
over night, or during the off moments when you're not using the
air appliances. I've wondered if a water heater tank would be
good as an air compressor tank.

As others have said, the unit is too small for it's use. That
said, I
made the same mistake. However, I paralleled the output into a
larger
tank so I'm filling 2 tanks at the same time. Yea, I know the
compressor is not made to keep up with that volume, but it's
better
than trashing the thing. If it burns out prematurely, at least
I've
gotten some use out of it.
