Hooking up a aux. compressor

[Dan Darst]

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.
