it can be ran without a seperator but it will just blow oil into your tank, eventually into your valves and cause problems later. i got mine off ebay, its a 300+ psi monster so i know its gonna be good for awhile. try and go with something like this, it will be better in the end for ya...........

detergent oil foams inside the crankcase and then the foam is slung away from the crank and rods thus causing loss of lubrication. a non detergent will not foam and will splash back off the walls of the crankcase and keep the crank submerged in oil. also the foam from the detergent will blow by the piston rings easier and cause more common intervals in adding oil. hope this helps. and yes you need a separator to keep the oil out of your air system. without it you will have massive amounts of oil in your tank, lines, valves, pressure switch, and even in the bags.

What he said. I use 30w non detergent and my water separator came from SSD and is rated at 200psi aluminum bowl and is clear at the rear of the truck. Works like a beast.
