Re: compressor is heating up to the point it blows hose

My team, in 2013, found the same problem with the Viair compressor (Yes, I know the compressor in the picture is the Thompson. Midseason, after burning out a compressor, that was what we had left.) , which we solved by using copper tubing off of the compressor. Might have been excessive overkill, but it solved the problem and worked throughout the season.
