Air compressor recommendations
I'm looking to get an air compressor to clean my truggy, but have no idea how powerful, etc. I need to get. Don't want to spend too much on it as at the end of the day... it is just for cleaning. Would this work (http://www.amazon.com/Master-Flow-MF...943000&sr=8-14)? Any other cheap recommendations? Thanks,

RE: Air compressor recommendations
I picked this one up, works good plus I can bring it with me on the road if I want. A little more then the one you posted but I have a few air tools I use with this.

RE: Air compressor recommendations
I would at the minimum get what chedster has..The problem with the smaller ones is it does take some pressure to dislodge the gunk..so with a small tank the pressure drops quick and now the motor starts to run..and run..you get about 10 seconds of desent pressure..so to clean the truggy it's going to take awhile with a small compressor..with the 3 gallon tank it takes about 3 cycles to clean effectively..I have tried to use the smaller compressors and found them to be frustrating to use and they burned out rather quickly..I'm using the next size up from what chedster has..(5 gallon) it was on sale..cheaper than the 3 gallon..easy choice..

Anyone know of an electric air compressor, with tank that can run off a cars electrical AC system? I have a 1 horse 6 gallon pancake that does not run. Something smaller I would imagine, but I havent seen anything?

I got this one and I think it's a good deal for $99.
