Default Daisy chain compressor tanks

Would it be a bad idea to daisy chain tanks? I have one extra, and at
times, I just run out of air. Or would it overwork the compressor?

It should be fine with any decent compressor. Put a valve between
tanks, so that you can start working sooner after turning the
compressor on.

Steve

The definition of "running out of air" is that the compressor is on all
the time.
More tank only delays the onset according to the size of the tank.
it only makes sense if your use is intermittent and that intermittency
fits.
Sure, you can come up with a counterexample, but in the general
case, your compressor will run longer, but less frequently...unitl
you "run out of air".

Ive got daisychained thanks here. I often leave the sub tank turned
off, but if I need to sandblast..or run air way out in the back 40..I
turn it on. Takes about 50% longer to fill em both..but the compressor
doesnt run as often once they are filled.

Shrug...depends on what you need to use air for. For me..its running
the plasma cutter, spray painting, blowing gook off machines and
filling tires.

Sorry, but my life does not revolve around my computer. I am busy
living and doing things. If I miss **** on my computer, I miss ****.
It's not like I read it every day. I recently went without one for
three months or so. Didn't miss it a lot.

People who are umbilically tied to their computers must have a sucky life.

The thread is " Valve to fill additional compressed air tank". We
came up with several methods to prioritize the valving so the primary
tank stays full and the other takes any excess.

iggy is already pretty ****ing stupid with his approach to machining and welding. Since iggy has no mechanical ability and no clues why he's so ****ed in the head, I'm sure iggy can find plenty of time to become even more of an asshole than he already is.

In Wieber's case the back 40 is what? 40 feet he can walk without running into any of the junk he's got piled up on his small lot or would that be 40 inches?

How about you figure out the extreme importance of recovery rate is and what it means to you and your application(s).

I'm praying I'm in your kill file and you can't read this so you can make yourself look like an asshole for 10 more posts. I needed the entertainment.

What does revolving your life around a computer have anything to do with your very low comprehension rate, your lousy mechanical abilities and your inability to teach yourself? Instead you post dumb question after dumb question. The reason you do this is because... wait for it... you're lazy and you refuse to do the required reading and instead expect others to do the most basic things for you.

Just yesterday, I was doing something similar. I have a hydraulic unit
on my semi trailer beavertail. Water made it into hydraulic oil. We
changed oil in the tank and I told them to purge cylinders too.

These IDIOTS did not do it and swore that "oil was good in
cylinders". It was not good, of course, and yesterday, at 10F, the
pump strainer clogged with ice again. It was at a job site and we did
not have any heaters to heat it up. So I had to improvise, put an oily
rag on a steel stick and made a torch that way.

The watery oil and the oily rag and stick torch should be returned to
the guy's desk who sold you that rig, Ig. Just so he knows.

You said you wanted to be less nice, and this is perfect timing.

P.S: Um, I suggest that the torch be given to him UNlit.
