Hooking up a aux. compressor - stevecreger - 05-16-2005 07:38 Where does one tie in a hookup for a auxially compressor. I'd like to do this for the purpose of keeping air to the bus while trying to find a very slow air leak while the bus is not running. Also what should one regulate to, the pressure of the incoming air. Steve Creger 1982 FC35 Littleton,Co. Hooking up a aux. compressor - Al here - 05-16-2005 07:42 I have an inlet in the compartment below the pass seat that went to an electric compressor.

There is a tee on the rear of the tank, with a shraeder valve, you can attach there, and use a check-valve to ensure that air can't leak out through your compressor connection. Any pressure between 80psi and 120psi will be fine. - Jeff Miller http://www.wanderlodge.net http://www.millercoachworks.com --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "stevecreger" wrote: > Where does one tie in a hookup for a auxially compressor.

Hooking up a aux. compressor - Dan Darst - 05-16-2005 13:46 A year ago, I executed exactly as Jeff described below. Has worked like a pro. I mounted the compressor in the basement compartment just in front of the LR wheel where the battery boilers uste to be housed. Ran a copper line from there to Jeff's hook up point, and put a valve in the line by the compressor so could run air tools off the compressor without airing up the bus. dandarst86fc35rbhuntleyil. >From: "Jeff Miller" >Reply-To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com >To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com >Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: Hooking up a aux. compressor >Date: Mon, 16 May 2005 19:44:55 -0000 > >On an '82 FC I'd suggest tying into the wet-tank (curb-side behind the >front axle) output.

No oil maintenance on the compressor. I had to modify its configuration. The motor and compressor were mounted on top of the tank. Would not fit into my basement. So fabbed a steel plate to mount to the bottom of the tank and stuck out from tank far enough to remount motor and compressor next to tank. dandarst86fc35rbhuntleyil. >From: "freewill2008" >Reply-To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com >To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com >Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: Hooking up a aux. compressor >Date: Tue, 17 May 2005 18:17:55 -0000 > >Dan - What make/model compressor did you install? > >Thanks >Bob Griesel '84 FC31 WLII WA > > >--- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Dan Darst" >wrote: > > A year ago, I executed exactly as Jeff described below.
