I went to a commercial car store showed them the compressor and the details and then used the correct rated wire. Ran that straight off the battery as would not advise running through the car electrics. ALWAYS check what your doing with someone qualified - it is a tricky thing - don't damage the car or the electrics or the compressor and be mindful of heat.

BUT the best way would be to use a good carbon bottle - get a small home compressor, then its way way quicker to fill from the boot, the bottle is not heavy so can be easily moved, plus with a home setup its far easier to manage and quicker. Will cost few more pennies but way way simpler.

Over all, before you do anything clever with the wires get advise and get it checked for safety.

Thanks for the quick response, what type of small compressor would you reccomend? I see alot of reviews about these yong heng compressors , people using them to fill 3 litre bottles

hi sorry too jump onto your post but I have 2 yonghengs and highly recommend them but I do change oil after 30mins use also only use on the cooler days with ice water never use it longer than 15mins too ive ran my first one well over a year now and she's still going but id recommend buying a gold filter and fill with desiccant very tightly ,

Hello dye, i did buy a yong heng and i am very impressed with it so far , have had it three months and used it plenty of times, i use a airmega filter that has the decescant inside and also fit the factory filter to it just for a bit more protection, like yourself i change the oil frequently and the 'tampons' inside both filters
