I know you have to buy the air compressor. How much does this usually run? And really, how long do they last before they screw up?

How much would a pawn shop typically pay for a 300 psi air compressor, it says 12 volts dc/10A

My Air compressor tank is all rusted out and leaks pretty bad, but the compressor it’s self is fine. I’ve been trying to find a new tank for it, but I can’t find ANYWHERE that sells just the air tank. Every only sells the tank and compressor combo. I just need a tank! Where could I get one? I need a 60 gallon or bigger. No, I don’t want to use an oil tank. I want an air tank. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
I don’t know why I posted this in home and garden. Sorry.

I have a 3 HP 15 Gallon Craftsman Air Compressor that I bought used. It is electric and supposedly "oil-free". When I plug it in and switch it on everything appears to work normally however the regulated side of the compressor will only go up to about 23-25 PSI and the tank guage will only go up to about 20-22 PSI. I have checked the drain valve and other areas where connections are made and can’t find any leaks from the tank or regulator. Furthermore the motor never cuts off – it will run forever if I let it. I even let it run for 15-20 minutes straight and once the guages got up to the above readings, they stopped and the motor kept running. Is the compressor or other part of the motor just shot or am I overlooking something here?

Hey Guys!
I’m looking to buy an air compressor strictly for cleaning my R/C car……
I don’t have a garage even (I know I know)…….

I was looking at sears.com….They all seem huge and way bigger than what I need…..Cans of compressed air work fine BUT they get used up so fast!!!!

Thanks for any suggestions!

I’m thinking about getting an Iwata HP-CS and either getting a Iwata Smart Jet Compressor with it or a HobbyAir air compressor (I forgot the name). Which compressor should I get?

If you have other suggestions, please tell me. I wouldn’t want to buy something that didn’t suit me. I want an air compressor that is quiet.

Thank you.

Recently my car stopped blowing cool air (still blows air now, just hot air). When I checked my refrigerant it showed that it was at zero. So I decided to fill it up to the appropriate level yesterday. All of it is gone today. I assume that I will have to take this to a shop. What are some ways that they can fix this problem effectively, since it is safe to assume there is a leak? Or would I be better off just buying a new air compressor even though it will be pricey? Thanks.

By the way, my car is a Lexus LS400 if that helps.

I bought an air compressor without a manual and need one for an Alltrade Pro Shop 30 gallon Model 835521 to see if we can hook up to 220 volt and can’t find a manual on line. Help>??
