Cheap source for On Board Air

[localmotion]

Master Flow makes a great/cheap way for you to have On Board Air. The MF-1050 is the most popular one and can be found at almost any auto parts store.

I recently went to Costco on 3/1/07, and found a MF-1050 for 49.99. This is a great deal and comes with everything you see here. The reason I bought it at Costco was because of the extremely generous return policy they have.

Here are some specs:

Motor: 12-Volt DC
Fuse: 30 Amps
Maximum working pressure: 120 psi
Maximum re-start pressure: 150 psi
Maximum recommended continuous operating time: 40 minutes
Recommended on/off cycle time: 15/30 minutes

It also has a very nice bag and other adapters you can use for different applications.

Any info on CFM or time to fill tires?

I cannot find the info on CFM...but people said they filled their 35" tire from 12psi to 25psi in 2 min. Not too bad imo.

i got mine used but like-new.

it worked pretty well till it got some dirt into it... since then it seems really sluggish. but it does the job.

[bamachem]

you should probably take it apart and clean it out as much as you can if you got dirt in it. if you score a cylinder, then it'll be a $50 door-stop.

[Lee]

yeah i havent had the time to do that.

i dont really care about it, i got it for like $20, and i want to get a tank

What about the old pull a spark plug, turn off the EFI, connect a hose to the cylinder and crank the starter method of inflation?!
