What is the consensus on this? Do we think its legal?
It needs to not exceed the following: 12v, 0.8cfm flow rate, 120psi continuous pressure, 120psi maximum pressure. Plus the cost, COTS, etc.

COTS: Obviously COTS from a VENDOR.
Voltage: 12V. Good.
Flow rate: 1.03cfm flow rate at 0 PSI (under a 13.8V supply) could be an issue. It's lower at higher PSIs, but still...
Continuous pressure: Not listed that I can see. Not-so-great.
Maximum pressure: 120 PSI. Good.
Cost: Under the limit.

I'd try to find a full spec sheet for that. If none is available, I'd ask the GDC directly: We found this compressor, and we are unsure if it complies with X part of <R75>. Could you give a yea or nay?

As listed, I'd have to say nay. GDC beats me, though...
