What would you recommend for a 12 gallon tank?

or pull a part, they last forever...I put together my whole setup 2 years ago for less than $300, and that was buying ssd brackets. I usually run 12 gal, but right now ive got 5 gal and it fills to 175 in about 7 sec. cruisin @55mph. And ive put about 15k on it with almost zero maint. lol

got 2 380s on my 12 gallon, no problems

i have 4 480s on 14 gallons and its pretty quick, not 7 second refills but I can go stop light to stop light lay it out and still have plenty of air to make turns.

I got my york 210 from a junk yard for $25 with the clutch....Tapped the heads with 3/8s in about 15 minutes...bought a $40 belt and a $10 hydraulic hose...made a bracket with some scrap...and Its freaking amazing. I have 11 gallons and i'm fixin to add another 8 when she gets taken apart for paint....I've put oil in 3 times...before each show i've went too since i've had it on and I drive my truck a ton. From 165 to 200 in like 15 seconds at cruising rpms...and maybe 25 seconds at idle. And you barely realize it's pumping...only way I can really tell is my pressure switch is under my dash and i hear it click on....It's badass. Takes another worry outta driving a bagged truck.

yeah thats what I'm gonna do then, you guys made up my mind for me

anyone ran into any negatives of an Engine Driven?? I rarely drive it, just to shows mainly and around town on occassion, but I do want something reliable.

If ya dont have room under the hood there is always OASIS comps. I saw one on here the other day for $400 bucks i think.

there is room, but I have thought about that too.  Still leaning towards the engine driven, just gotta find someone to help me out

It is a remanufactured copy of a YORK.

what else would I need to buy to hook it up? and where could I find it? I found one on ebay that I will probably get and also the brackets, but what else (hoses and anything else).......I'm still learning anything will help.  I know there is a kit that can be bought, but they are like $1000 and I'm not spending that!
