To solve the compressor problem I simple bought a "throw away little direct couple compressor from supercheap and joined it to my twin cylinder comp with piping, and now it lasts much longer before the pressure is too low. It also helps when using air sanders. However the little chinese unit kept tripping on overheat every 5 minutes so i got the old fan and blasted the motor with the fan and it now runs for a few hours continuosly. I figured that you would only need the huge compressor some of the time and its a bitch to haul around so the add on idea really helps when i need it.
