It's in the title really; i've been told our compressor is filling more slowly than expected because the tanks are too far away from it, something i've never heard before.
Does anyone have experience in this please? Is it really the case?
Thanks guys, i'm very new to compressor stuff so any help appreciated
Maybe not the most conventional way but I have a digital gauge that I turn on from time to time to see how fast the pressure is rising, I'll also time the compressor fill rate to see if it's still pumping the expected cfm.
I have a small diesel connected to the compressor and it's loud so I wear ear muffs (so it's hard to hear a leak). Twice I've found leaks just by watching the digital gauge and knowing something wasn't right. You'd have to have a baseline how things should be though.
I also routinely run my fingers around the fittings just to make sure. I'm still pretty new at pumping though. I have to babysit the darn thing, might as well make the best of my time.
