Keep in mind that there are other legal compressors, too! The commonly used Viair compressor has a bigger brother in their industrial grade line. It has a cfm below 1.05, which makes it legal to use, and has a much bigger thermal mass. This allows it to be rated for continuous use, not just the 9% of the normal Viair teams use. It also comes with a steel mesh leader hose - this is considered part of the compressor (per last year's Q &A, at least... I haven't seen it asked this year yet), and can be used to help ensure the tubing is well away from the hot parts of the compressor!
