Re: 1.1 Pump (am-3227) Really an improvement?

We just got the 1.1 pump page up today, and it's entirely possible that we had a typo because that is a head-scratcher. I've got emails in to investigate the concerns you bring up (which are absolutely fair ones!).
Looking again I noticed the metric stats for the 1.1 Pump are copy-paste identical to the Viair 00090 specifications page.

I appreciate you following up via email to look into this. Hopefully all will be cleared up once the page is reviewed for accuracy.

I agree that the size difference is probably marginal - both are smaller (and lighter) than the Thomas compressors used in 2010 and earlier.
