I am under the impression that the piping and hose add up the total volume.
So, if you have a 60 gal tank and add a lot of piping you increase your
capacity by the volume of the pipe/hose installed. You may get a gallon or
more of storage in your setup. I have never experience any issues with long
versus short hoses other that the weight of carrying around a long rubber
hose.

This may not be exactly the correct group but this is where I lurk so you
get my question.

I have my shop totally plumbed for air with both inside and outside
connectors and it sits approximately in the middle of our rather large lot
in a small community. The compressor is a 7 HP with a 60 gallon tank.

Now the question: I can reach anyplace on our lot with 200' of air hose
but I am curious if I will lose any volume and/or pressure through that
long of a hose. The hose is a normal 3/8" rubber air hose. I currently
have 100' and everything (nailers, & even my TIP sandblaster) seems to
work fine but I thought that I would ask prior to purchasing another 100'.

TIA

Don
