Dave Dave Dave, you put me to shame with how particular you are. Had to buy the two red hoses so they would match😂 love it. So nice to not be alone with that particular peculiarity.

I had one of the bigger Husky Air Compressors and 25 years later it's still working perfectly.

I'm using one just like it to increase the volume of my small compressor, and now, I will adapt this system for double duty. Thanks for the idea!!

As a mechanic I approve of the solution to your compressor of run it till it throws a rod

That tank does nothing but store air you got inline regulators you can still get moisture

The whistling diesel of air compressors…

😂 it was hanging in there though matey seriously hanging on even with the rocks you chucked in it that’s pretty amazing 👌 You have a superb head for sorting stuff Dave nice one 👍

Great job bro super creative!! My old man had a set up like that for when he painted and it made a huge difference!!

Jeez that husky definitely put up a fight while trying to obliterate itself

I wish I could find one of those compressors for $25 here where i live.😂

Durability test passed!! I will be buying a husky now 🤣

At work, all of our pneumatics are hydraulically operated. You could also minimize the issue by plumbing a radiator between the pump and tank. mount it next to the large pulley to use it as a fan to draw air across the radiator.

Now this is awesome!

Good morning Dave

Could also get an automatic purge valve. Will purge about once an hour for a few seconds to get rid of any water.

The double hand slap at 1:42 had me rolling!!!!!!!

The compressor turned and aimed straight for the 240s back glass. I know I'd be replacing it if I had done that.

HEY! Good morning Dave and of course thumbs UP! 👍

Great idea, re purposing a piece of junk to make something useful out of it. Amazing what things can be used for different purposes. I even used roller door tracks for the frame of my box trailer shed. Never know what junk can be reused for something else.

Dave , that big tank could be dangerous if it has had water in it for long periods of time. I have seen smaller tanks explode and the damage that they can cause is unbelievable and deadly. I am not sure if there is a way that the big tank can be checked to see if it is still safe to use. Just thought that I would mention that.

Interesting solution to a common problem. I put a little valve on the drain of the air compressor and every hour it would go off and drain for 15 seconds not the best solution but it keeps most of the water out of the lines

I doubt that line is original, I’ve had lines fracture before on a compressor. Looks like a homemade job to me.

I didn't understand the advantage of having the remote tank. Is it just to have something to hang the water separators on closer to your work?

I spy a bare 6g72 block hopefully see that build coming soon!

I’d be interested in what rivnut hun you went with. There’s so many and was wondering how you liked that one. Thank you for sharing.

I live in the south man and this happened every day. We have to purge every compressor multiple times daily

There is a relief valve on the bottom of that husky tank to empty condensation. Bet the water is settling in there.

Hahaha love the hulk smash

Damn you throw everything on the floor

No water - more better big times! 🙌

Dave doesn't your old compressor still build up with water? Thats what I'm trying to keep from happening.

So, my question is, with this new set up do you still have water sitting in "old" compressor tank that still needs to be drained?

I'd like to see a clear explanation and the schema of what has been done.

Poor Husky.

Science!

You need to replace your PVC lines before worrying about replacing the compressor. BTW: Why not rebuild the pump on that compressor, or, replace the pump instead of replacing such a costly compressor?

Add an auto drain....PVC lines Yikes

Lmao you cant break the damn thing when you want to but need that MF in a pinch and the damn head will blow off and hit a 25k paint job 🤣

As that thing was rotating, all I could think about was the piston flyin through the window.

Bro.... If you ever have PVC lines burst from air pressure and impale you with PVC shards you'll never use it again for compressed air... Trust me.

0:36 that’s what she said

What a smart move, you can destroy a working compressor. Very smart.

What a waste. Over half of the video is wasted in crap on how to destroy your Husky compressor.
