Drain the tank, respect the safety valve, and buy on free air delivery rather than tank size. Twenty-seven chapters cover the machine and the air system around it, including the one component that fails dangerously and the water that quietly destroys it.

How a compressor works and why compressing air makes both heat and water, safety with stored pressure and electricity, compressor types and what each suits, the tank and its inspection and retirement, pressure switch unloader and check valve, regulators and workshop distribution, moisture and how it is actually removed, oil and intake filtration and cooling, valves and pump service, motors and belts, air tools and their real demand, spraying and air quality, portable and petrol-driven machines, sizing and installation, and other shop equipment.

WHAT IS INSIDE

Systematic diagnosis for starting faults, pressure faults and lost output

4 fully worked cases from first symptom to confirmed cause

13 clear technical diagrams

Chapters on tools, on costs and dealing with trades, and on buying a second-hand machine and judging its tank

Service log and fault log sheets, three appendices and a 20-term glossary

WHO IT IS FOR

Workshop and home users. Tank repair is treated as impossible rather than difficult, and the book explains why a patched pressure vessel is not a repair.
