I have a 240v compressor but have decided to go to 12v now my problem is this....??

Do I buy a 12v compressor and tank or do I use the tank from this 240v and use my TJM compressor?

I would need a 12v reg for the cut out but they dont cost much....

Thoughts???

What's your reason for going 240V? Assuming they work a lot better?

Wrong way round bozo... I had a 240v in there (it was just here so I used it) but I want to go to 12v!!!!

I know that doofus! I meant why did you go 240V in the first place.

Just use a 100- 110 psi pressure switch with one non return valve
easy peasy Bolt tank to inside of left chassis rail or leave where it is
up to you

Drop around if you need hand mounting tank

Im thinking the 240 tank would be heavey
and big dont know the size you have
12volt and 9l tank might be the go
