TGIF, Red Stars!
As Summer reluctantly embraces we aviators of the north, my latest dilemma
involves my Bauer 7,000lb compressor that I've used for years to fill my sc
uba tanks. Regrettably, it has decided to ride the pine. (It was no surpris
e...I noticed it spending considerable time after curfew with some RV guys.
) Anyway, I can't even find a shop that will consider options for repair, a
s apparently these high psi compressors are beyond the scope of many techs.
A suitable replacement would practically necessitate a less-informed versi
on of "Breaking Bad" on my part. I was just wondering what options are out
there that I haven't considered or thought-of. 'Not fond of the ol' bi-week
ly trip to the dive shop to fill up.
Thank you for any input!!
Tailwinds, healthy mags and tight pneumatics to all!!

The real question Rico is why do you have to do biweekly dive shop trips for
scuba tank refills.
How tight is your air system?
I may fill my scuba tanks once every 6 months.
Now I have noticed that if by some freak brain fart the I left my main air v
alve partially closed that by the end of that week of said brain fart, my ma
in system will have leaked down to 1 ATM. Seems brain farts are becoming mor
e frequently these past few years. Just hope the brain farts and the compres
sor stall grafts don=99t merge anytime soon. If so I=99ll be shi
tting and forgetting where or why!

One option is to contact your local welding shop supplier. They will rent yo
u a dry, compressed air medium (called a =9C200=9D) size or larg
e (called a =9C300=9D) size tank which they will typically excha
nge for a fresh tank when you need it. Usually they will pick up and deliver
.
I found this better than driving to the scuba shop for refills.
Hope this helps.

Believe it or not but I take mine to the local fire station that fills the
air bottles for the fire fighters Scott bottles. I found an adapter online
that connects to the scuba bottle but they already have them for their
scuba rescue team. They fill my scuba bottles all the time for me.

Best bet is a Cornelius compressor, WWII surplus.
24volt DC, 1500 PSI.
I have two of them which I use for shop air in testing overhauled
actuators, valves, etc. I paid $250.00 each for mine, found then on the
internet.

I and a number of others have gone for a Paintball type system Small bottle can
be punped to 4500psi. Will get around 37Kgcm2 from an empty tank. Also portable
so you can take it away with you. Compressor was a Chinese one bough on line
for around US$500 on Ali baba
