Soon I will be putting my YH to the test, I'm planning to top off my 6l 300 bar scuba tank. My air dryer/filter setup is almost ready to go, only needs hydro testing.

Has anyone else noticed that the YongHeng gauge glows in dark?

Bizill · « **Reply #821 on:** July 31, 2017, 07:31:30 PM »

Yep. As does my generic fill whip valve assembly gauge.

Although I'd never use either in the dark.

To me this is kind of a confidence builder. I'm sorry you had to be the "lab rat" but it sounds like this little compressor can survive an (oops).
However... Since I was fortunate enough to have the AirMax Extreme MKII dropped in my lap (Thanks again for making that happen GTA), I'm looking at the portable 12v systems. Very compact and powered by your 12v vehicle batteries, whether it be your truck or 4-wheeler/atv/utv.... whatever. The also have an a/c adaptor for campground/cabin/home use. The price is up there but, like anything else, it will begin to come down soon enough.

I also am looking at the convience, and portability of the 12 v systems, just be nice to have an option if I can not pay my electric bill ,, due to another airrifle purchase j/k . Just the prepper mind set I was raised with I guess $:-\$

James.... you just increased my reason to look after the 12v version 10 times.... I din't even think about things like power outages and such.... You just don't know what wait around the corner. A 12v hpa compressor puts the pcp right back in the "wtshtf" kit. I may not be physically able to cock a springer or a pumper but I'm pretty sure I would be able to slap a couple alligator clips on a battery from an abandoned vehicle. Then stuff it back in my wagon.

I noticed the glow, the first time I turned off the lights in my shop. A little odd, but maybe useful if the breaker pops
and the compressor stops as the lights go out. You can still find your bleed screw in the dark room, it's right under the meter.

I was worried about forgetting to turn on the water pump. So, each time I unplug the pump,
I put the cord around the handle and lay the plug almost on top of the power switch..

Yes rich don't have a senior moment and for get to plug in the water pump 😳 Bought me a power strip and use that to turn all at once and off when I am done😎 Mines still pumping away today filling my guns😎

Norm_m · « **Reply #827 on:** August 02, 2017, 08:42:02 AM »

Is the cover easily removable? If so why not wire the pump cord into the switch.

You may want to leave the water pump running after the compressor is off to bring the temp of the head(s) back down.

You may want to leave the water pump running after the compressor is off to bring the temp of the head(s) back down. To prolong the life of the compressor. All of our industrial compressors keep the fan and coolant pumps running until ambient temp is reached.

Norm_m · « **Reply #830 on:** August 02, 2017, 09:08:01 AM »

Hmmm very good point as I did not think of that

Norm

kzz1kaw · « **Reply #831 on:** August 02, 2017, 11:07:39 AM »

Good point. Since I had my compressor overheat, I rather use the power strip to turn it on and off

avator · « **Reply #832 on:** August 02, 2017, 11:10:47 AM »

I have my space all ready (complete with power strip) just waiting for the Big Brown Truck to arrive Today. Really going to be hard to return to work after my lunch hour.
(checking available vacation time)

I ordered mine, the one for $269 from huazai on ebay. Chemlube, high side filter, and zeolite are on their way as well.

Thanks to everyone who reduced the risk for me.

John just ordered a piston and seals just in case but for now I am going to run it as is being that it is still working for me. Knock on wood 😳 If the compressor decides to quit working, I still have my omega as backup until I get the parts from ali

Did you order a Cylinder with your rebuild parts? If not I would be causes, You don't want to Score your cylinder, That way you can just re-ring it, And put it back together

You have a back-up I think I would use it. Cheers! Jaa

avator · « **Reply #836 on:** August 03, 2017, 03:22:46 PM »

I would just use the darn thing... the price is getting low enough now that by the time you order the parts and all the headache you could just buy another one and have one for parts. Just make sure you not pumping corruption into your guns.

pecor · « **Reply #837 on:** August 03, 2017, 03:34:24 PM »

I had just thought that Kazz had another compressor, If so Why trash something if you don't need to??

avator · « **Reply #838 on:** August 03, 2017, 03:37:14 PM »

You know... you're right.. I forgot he had the omega...
