My compressor pumps my 80 gallon tank, plus the compressed air hoses

How do you pull that initial vacuum?

And why?
I suspect he means PSIG. Some gages bother to mention it, some
don't...

But doesnt he start off with 14.6 +/- PSIG before he turns it on?


No, he starts at 0 PSIG, which is around 14.6 PSIA. His 125 PSIG also
equates to about 139.6 PSIA.


Gunner, stop teasing these guys! G
