A friend of mine loaned me an air compressor for a while last year. Later in the year, he realized he's missed it, and asked for it back. I obliged. But having gotten used to the convenience of having an air compressor, I've been thinking of buying one.
Last time we went shopping, I decided that was enough of that.
So now we'll have compressed air around again. The specifications were driven by being able to do compression tests on my beetle engine, which is why it's a little higher pressure.
The oil-free pump has less maintainence...but it's loud:
89 decibels standing a couple of feet away from it. If I ever end up using it a lot, I'll want to make a spot to put it that insulates the sound somewhat.
So...after filling the beetle spare tire back to 40psi, I hooked it back up to the washer system. The bigger cable tie that I put on the hose from the reservoir (pressurized by the spare tire) seems to have done the trick:
And it hasn't leaked yet; so I guess four times is a charm?
