Hooking up a aux. compressor

[stevecreger]

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.

I have an inlet in the compartment below the pass seat that went to an
electric compressor.

On an '82 FC I'd suggest tying into the wet-tank (curb-side behind the
front axle) output. 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.

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.

It is a porter cable mushroom 4 gallon tank set to hit 135 psi factory spec.
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.
