Fans must be placed outside because a leak after the fan can be bad. Now in all honesty, that only holds true if you have bends and twists and turns. I personally think you can place it in a basement or attic as long as you have a straight continuous pipe going up.

As bonus you get passive suction when the pipe is warm.

    For regulator pressure answers see the other posts, it's easier to detach / attach a tool without too much pressure on it.

    For tires set it like 20 to 30 above your target. You want to overcome the valve pressure and have enough flow to steadily increase the tire. You can set it to max and you're more likely to have to deflate more or have your compressor spin up more. I use a little bleeder to get precise. Remember to check tire pressure cold if you want to be accurate. Early in the morning is a great time.

    When detailing , cleaning with it, set it to like 75 psi max and maybe wear goggles depending on what you're blowing around.

    Most air tools will require anything between 90-max psi. You can keep a tank pressurized however it's really good practice to empty it over temperature changes to prevent condensation inside. Use the pressure relief valve for that, usually a little ring or similar close to the regulator, then open the main tank valve around 50 psi to blow anything out.

    have fun 😀

    I've always done dry in lugs. I do make sure my threads are really clean. I don't think that anti seize is that bad on a bolt that can withstand a lot of torque. Just make sure you apply a thin layer on really clean degreased threads. Don't plaster, use a torque wrench. Usually anti seize is applied in areas where bolts aren't very accessible or rarely removed. People used to put them on spark plugs, but that is no longer recommended by most manufacturers.

    Local cafeteria put up a sign that the fish contains bones. I asked about the obvious, someone returned it asking them how the heck he was supposed to eat that, cause you know, it had bones.

    I've been to fish restaurants in the US and literally got served breaded fillets. Kinda like fishsticks, but more expensive. Same thing for shrimp, no heads, seldom tails.

    The population that is used to eat fish in fishform and shrimp in shrimpform is just very low.

  • I bought a regular pancake compressor for that, with a plug. Once full you can just unplug and fill tires with the tank pressure. I bought it specifically for inflating tires, however I've used it for many cleaning jobs as well. Paid itself back several times over now. I've seen 12V mobile versions that differ greatly in construction. Look for something that's heavier then most I'd say.
