Vacuum bagging help

I built a very versatile system very cheaply. I had to buy a vacuum switch, a vacuum gauge and a tank. One of those tanks you keep in the trunk for emergency flats. I scrounged an old refrigerator compressor free, a few fittings and some tubing. The whole lot cost me about $70.00.

I purchased the gauge and switch from APC. With the switch is a circuit diagram for the whole system.

I can adjust the vacuum from zero to about 26hg.
