Hallo guys.
My 50L direct drive compressor decided today,after 10 years of running every day,to NOT build pressure. It still runs very nice but won't build pressure. I have read up a bit and the problem could be the reader valve or something like that. I phoned a local compressor company and they told me I won't get parts for it because it is direct drive. Are they having me on or is this true,is it not fixable?
I don't want to just chuck it,because I feel it is still useable somehow,hoping to be fixed. I did buy another one in the meantime cause I need one. I do have a another question. Is it possible to join the two tanks,SAFELY, because the old tank is still in very good shape,to make a 100L capacity compressor? If possible, can I keep the same gauges? How would I go about it? Have some of our members tried something like this?
My biggest concern is SAFETY and I I hope that if this is possible, that it can be achieved with some pipe conections.
Thank you for viewing. Waitng for your response
