Air tank/locker question

Post by SAWZALL »

Cant afford both locker and compressor before WERock so was wondering how many times a small (1 litre) air tank would activate an air locker before it would need a compressor to fill it????

My vote is for around 6 times if you are turning just 1 locker on and off. I think it is a good idea to have a 1 Litre air tank whether you have a compressor or not. I am sure someone would lend you a compressor.

surly u could rig up a small supercheap compresser. just wire it up to a switch straight into your 1 ltr tank.. the tank would need a pressure release valve. just switch it on every now n then or sumthin.. if money is short then u could improvise with this idea

125mm x 1200mm tank will run two lockers 15 times each, takes about 45 seconds to pump up with an arb compressor,
