Thanks Guys. Sorry I did not make my self clear. I am not using it with a pin nailer or any nail gun at 135PSI. 135PSI is the unregulated side. I am aware that you should drain the tank after use. I just did this as a test to determine if there was any air leakage. The Makita only has a 5 gallon tank which is fine for nail guns--but for an impact wrench it is on the small side. I figured I would add a 11 gallon or larger tank if I use it with an impact wrench. It is a cheap compressor $299 at CPO and is really impressive; rated to 140PSI and 6.5CFM @90 and 6.9 @40PSI. Sound-wise it is loud rated at 90 decibels, but when I tested it in a closed garage it was 77-80 right next to the machine.
Thank you both for your concern--I appreciate that. I know people have been criticizing this forum as of late but I think it is awesome.
Thanks Stick for the advice about kid's bubble solution. I am using Hitachi NP35A @80PSI.
Back to my question--is it normal to have that much of an air lose over a 24 hour period. I have heard stories of compressors keeping pressure for a long time--or am I expecting too much? I guess the question is--do I have an air leak that I should chase down?
Thanks guys.
