Add compressor capacity, rather than tank volume, presuming you have a

it will only come on when the first is unable to keep up with the
demand.


Pete, I would like to explore my idea in the original post, for now. I
do not really want to get more compressors, for now. Even though it is
tempting to upgrade,I just bought a 15HP Quincy 370 compressor. My
shop guy wants me to upgrade my 10HP quincy to this one.But I do not
want the hassle of upgrading the wiring and dealing with a messy
wiring duct.

i

Whats your current wire size? How far is the run?
