  2 Verify the PSI

  3 Test it before use

  Check the CFM rating, horse power, and the tank size and make sure that they are enough for your needs. CFM will determine the number of tools you can run with the compressor. Also, how much power it can provide to those tools. Check the operational CFM requirement of your air tools to verify the right amount.

• Verify the PSI

  PSI rating will help you determine the right size of the used diesel compressor for your application. The higher the rating, the more air storage it can provide.

• Test it before use

  Only buy a used diesel compressor when you are sure that it has been thoroughly inspected, serviced, reviewed, and tested by the retailer. That way, you can be sure that it is in perfect condition and that it is still reliable for your job. Proper documentation should come with the product to support verify data from servicing and testing, as well as the specifications, the model year, previous uses, and the operating hours.
