I just saw this thread

I have got a silly question , have you been draining the oil and water out of the compressor tank every month or two ?

they have a drain screw underneath , i have seen people who forgot to do it and this causes the tank to be half filled with gunk leaving no room for air which in turn causes short storage / drained cycle times

as for the leak , yeah what the other guys said , repair the washer if you still have it

as for compressor size , i have had a 17 CFM , 240 volt 3 Hp compressor on my work truck for 15 years and it can run spray painting guns , 1/2" 700 ftlb rattle gun , die grinders , air arc gouging head , scabbler guns , air chisel and thats just what i use to prepare my lunch.

You just reminded me of something a mate of many years back did. His wifes cooking was sooooo bad that when he couldn't cut the meatloaf he went out to his truck and come back in with the bloody chainsaw and fires it up :p :p
True Story :)

He has since remarried lol
