I've been pondering getting a small (slow) portable compressor for filling my own tanks, something like the SCUBA MAX 35. I know they're expensive, but where I live it's a 45 minute drive (one way) to the closest place to refill my tanks. I was thinking about a gas-powered compressor for its portability, which adds some concern to mixing exhaust fumes with the air intake.
Anyway, a co-worker has an old compressor (I think it's a Trident) that she wants to sell. She says it's about 17 years old, but has not been used that much and was well taken care of. She's offered to let me try it out, and it was suggested I put new filters on it, fill a tank and have it tested. This makes some sense, except where might I have the air tested?
I fear taking a home-filled tank to my not-so LDS may not be a good idea (they already hate the fact that I try to do things without going through only them).
Any suggestions on my ideas? Comments? Opinions? I can always change my mind, but a little research can't hurt.
Thanks
