- I show you how I take a broken air compressor and turn it into a portable air tank in this video. You could also make an air compressor expansion tank out of a broken air compressor using the same method. Those old air tanks are worth keeping around! Most of the part I use are from Harbor Freight but the 1/4 in shader valves are from amazon.
Something a failed to correct in editing is that all those fitting are 1/4” not 3/8”.
I am a new subscriber Derek. I enjoy your easy to understand and informative videos. I am an old man now but still learning about tools / repairs / repurposing equipment. Thank you for taking time to make these videos.
Hey well I am a young man but I hope to learn everything I can by the time I am an old man in being able to fix and take care of all my stuff. Thanks a bunch for the kind words! Not everything I post will be useful or exciting I suppose but it's all relevant to shop/mechanics/welding type stuff. Sometimes I'll have a random other video. Thanks so much for watching/subscribing/commenting.
Good repurpose idea.....
Thank you! Cheers!
So the PRV is usably 10-20 percent higher than the cut off pressure. So if cut off is 125 , valve would pop if it was a 125 valve. Its meant to pop at 135 ish if pressure exceeds that pressure limit
Man, that's smart idea, cool! Also could strap it on your back, go diving a little bit in the lake. Ok, maybe not that. :)))
Lol maybe better not haha.
The reason why they use a higher pressure relief because tanks rated for 110 working PSI rating
Handy!
Definitely better than tossing it!
@@DereksWorkshopAndProjects I have a rusty 10 gallon HF compressor which the motor and pump work fine on, but the tank is super rusty as it didn't get drained for like 10 years. I need to keep my eye out for a tank and I can make another functioning compressor.
How do u full the tank?
Using the shrader valve I plugged into it.
