Okay guys, looking at buying a compresor/tank kit

Setup was a test system for an ambulance so has done maybe 3 hours work, its appx 9 years old and the compressor was Blowjax branded, the seller can’t find a model number and I can’t find any info on the net. Wondering if anyone recognizes the model from these pictures.

The whole kit has been offered to me at $160 USD with money back if it doesn’t work.
and includes the following kit;
1x 12volt air compressor & mounting frame,
1x Pressure tank,
1x One way check valve,
1x Inlet hose,
1x Moisture/water trap,
1x Pressure safety valve
1x Pressure switch
1x Solenoid
1x Chassis fuse

I don’t know the brand specifically, but that seems like a decent deal for 160. The money back guarantee makes it a pretty sweet deal.

Quoted for truth. I bet you can settle on $150 and get it.

Keep in mind, though – a 9 year old tank was last hydro tested when? Probably more than 9 years ago…

It looks a lot like a “Puma” compressor.

Right, I brought it. Here is the inside of the tank;

nice looking water separator.


Pressure switch set to 152 PSI off 135 on? No pressure gauge so will test later


175 PSI safety valve?


MFG.NO : LDC 0702261

steam punk style relay!! are they produced like this any more? I’ve never seen one (I’m 25!)


Never seen anything like this before, is a “ShortStop” auto fuse. 12v 40amp

Looks like you got a pretty good deal if everything works.

Yeah, everything works perfectly. I’m 99.9% sure I have a DC5000 - see http://www.djdlabs.com/DC5000.htm

Nice, it has a metal rod and probably a metal piston with a ring, unlike those Chinese imports that use a solid nylon assembly.
