Re: pic: 4901 won't run out of air this season. That's for sure.
We are using that same compressor, and a metal Viair tank. However, we are thinking that half a gallon of air should be enough.
Five gallons is a lot of air. Based on measurements my team reported earlier, I would estimate this compressor would require about four minutes to recharge a five gallon tank from ~100 PSI back to ~120 PSI. So with a tank that large, it is unlikely you would see a benefit from have the compressor on board.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
