Adding auxiliary air

[scoggins_jim]

Ryan:
I had an 86 PT40 and the first question that comes to mind is do you
really need it.

Here is why I thought I needed an aux compressor. Did not want to
start engine:
1. To use the water line blow out when winterizing
2. To raise the suspension for an early am departure
3. To re position the driver or pax chair
4. To raise the suspension in order to work under coach

I know a couple of guys that got a 150 PSI pancake compresser from
Sears, threw away the tank, and mounted it in the aft street side bay.
They used some isolation mounts to limit vibration and plumbed into
the input side of the air dryer. One would need a feed back circuit
to turn off the pump once the desired air pressure has been reached
in the air system.

I guess it might be a big deal if there was sometime you wanted air
pressure without starting the engine--if you install an air toilet
for instance.

To make a long story short, I did not do it, mainly because I didn't
want to give up space in that bay.
