compressor is a MaxAir 35 w/ Honda gas. 80 hours on the meter. oil change 10hr, 25hr, 50hr, 75hr with Seco Lube Synthetic 500. filling HP120 to 3500psi with 21%. 2-4 tank per session. each fill session 4-6 weeks apart.
on the last fill session (mid june) the compressor has been unable to maintain pressure. first two tank went normal. on the third tank it bearly held 3500psi. on the fourth tank it bearly held 2400psi.
of the last 5 tank - the air has a "burnt oil odor" to it. last 5, because did noticed one of the tank from the last last fill session (mid may) had an faint odor to it. that tank was breatheable, however definitely not normal. did not dawn on me something was wrong right away.
took the short fillled tank (2400psi) from the last fill session for a dive. at depth, the ordor was so bad, caused excessive coughing. had to resort to pony (which was filled a few months back) to get back to surface. back at the house. test smelled the other 3 tank from the same fill session. all have the same strong odor.

what could be wrong with the compressor? what could be causing such ordor?
where in southeast florida can this be serviced?
