I been thinking about adding a onboard air compressor for my line pump. Does anyone have one that runs a chipping gun ? If so which model and make .

Also what's a good water pump for good pressure and durability and price 

 

thanks

I did a thread on here on an air compressor that i mounted on my trailer pump. The set up i have is what a lot of off roaders use to air up tires and run air tools. I use it all the time to blow out my lines and sometimes use it for tools and my chipping gun right now im trying to get a water tank like what the mixers use to mount on my truck. The only set back to the set up i use is i have to put oil in my compressor every few weeks to a month depending on how much i use it.

Last post has the aire figured out.On the water side I mounted a 250 gal. tank with a 2" pvc pipe to the pump hopper. It has a ball valvefor quick dumpto fill the hopper to water wash pipe/hose with a pig. Also have a Dewalt 4000 psi pressure washer to clean up hopper hoses etc. I hate having to rely the rm truck for water. I also carry 300' of garden hose on a reel if needed.
