Filling my tanks...

[Externet]

Greetings.
Once there was a plain utility compressor Husky HL5402

Crossed paths with a

and the motor divorced its long time partner

And married instead, a Cornelius compressor 130R2103

To become a happy couple :

Nice photos! A very attractive looking couple.

Forgive my ignorance of Cornelius compressors, but is there any kind of moisture separation or air purification going on?

ETA: Or even any lubricating oil? It’s so small! It’s like magic! It’s like a mil-spec Shoebox Compressor!

Hi.
Some models have a moisture/oil condensate separator. Some do not. Mine has it inside that black box 'canteen' .
It looks like ----> How to set the turn-off pressure in a Cornelius ?

Some users add other filtration systems.

Other smaller units have it exposed as the one at ----> Skin Diving History - A A Wolf - Mfg & Retailers

The lubricating oil recommended is MIL6085A. Am using instead, Nuvair 455.

What pressure are you filling to? And how long does it take? I came across one of these compressors at work a while back and thought about doing exactly this, but discarded the idea before I hurt myself.
Cool project though.
