tyre pump

[Mrcoolabah1au]

would like to buy a 12v air compressor for our bus just what sort not sure some lite to carry quick to pump up tyre some thing that last a couple of years

Are they big tires on your rig mrcoolabah?
Does the rig have air brakes?
22.5's will not be an easy one to fill with a little 12v compressor......

If you only want it at home then I suggest you go to a few farm clearing sales as quite often you can pick up older, tougher engine driven ones quite cheaply. You need one to be able to get to at least 100 or 120.
Question is .... do you need it while travelling?
& like Bagmaker (name?) says ...... do you have air brakes or vacuum assisted?

[Mrcoolabah1au]

Yes I do have air but only -16 x825 tyres

Wayne I've got an airhose that you can have. If you put a 'T' piece in the hose leading out of your air tank & put a small tap on it with a quick connect fitting you can plug in this hose to reach all wheels.
It is one of those coily ones and will easily fit in a Woolies shopping bag to throw in the side bin.
Your bus compressor should go up to 110psi or so ...
Like this.

If you couple off the tanks in the bus, it should be off the auxiliary circuit and separated from the brake circuit.

Ok Bruce now winter over we mite make another trip over that way?

Better give me a couple of weeks Wayne.
I've got a lot happening in the next few weeks.
Will give you a yell once the 'storm' dies down!
