Brilliant it sounds like you reached a conclusion 2 months earlier than I did, and without being miffed at a purchasing a lesser unitHa ha OK, you beat me. I've listened to what you said, which is why I came on here in the first place. Just bought a proper 3HP unit by Wolf with a 90litre tank and 150psi so should last a lot longer. Many thanks for all the chat. I learned a lot ! Awesome forum !
