24 gallon?

Looks like about an 80 gallon tank to me.


Look closer. Compare it to garbage cans next to it. The one on the
very right is a 44 gallon Brute cans.

I personally hope that it is a 240 gallon tank, but I will know when
we bring it in.

Not a bad screw compressor. I had to rebuild a pair of them last year.

Buy you did not rebuild the air end itself, right?


WTF? What a strange question, Ig. Let's see, are you referring to
the air end which stores the air, or the air end which compresses the
air, or the air end which dispenses the air? The air is global, it's
ubiquitous in the tool, duuuude.


He is talking about the actual head..the screw compressor itself.

Its commonly called the "air end" of the compressor..given the huge
amount of other **** attached to the unit. Oil strippers and whatnot.

That air is screwed (G) into the pressure end (Grin) while everything
is running in an oil mist..and then the oil is stripped out by
centrifical force in a stripper that leaves the air pretty much clean.
Which is why screw compressor oil is a special synthetic and costs
about $80 a gallon. (though I get it for $40)
