Importance of Auto Air Compressors

For a regular traveler, before starting for a trip on highway roads, probably you should know to air down tires before trail and fill them again to the street pressure and this has become a very big concern to most of the travellers off-late.

The best solution to this problem is to carry an air compressor or air tank along with you, on the trail and this can be done in several ways such as bearing a prefilled air tank that has the capability to fill all the tires of the vehicle. Doing so will serve the need, but this supplies only a limited air and will not be helpful multiple times.

The other option is to carry a compressor that is powered by the cheap lighter jack and this gives huge quantities of air, but it is very slow to process and supplies only one psi per each minute. Traveler can even use small compressor, which is better than the above two options and this powers ARB lockers to fill the tires. This is still slow, puts only 90 psi and is also very noisy. The cost of this type of compressor is around 200 Dollars.

Another good option to serve the need is to carry the compressed carbon dioxide tanks, because they end for sometime even on a single charge and these can be carried very easily. The main disadvantage in using this type of compressor at the run-outs is that they can be refilled only at the gas provider stores.

The best option is to carry an electric air compressor and the good compressors available in the market are ready air and Curry and these can be used to fill air tanks fixed on the vehicle. It boosts up to 2.2 cams at 105 phis and the cost of this compressor is around 250 Dollars.
