Best compressor to use with dust blower?

Hi,
I want to buy a air compressor for the prado but it will be mainly used to blow out air filters on earthmoving gear etc. Would i be better off fitting one under the bonnet or the others that come in a case.
Cheers.

You are going to need a lot of air volume to clean out air filters, and earthmoving machines generally have pretty big filters, I know as I do this all the time at work with 966's and the likes. Most 12v electric compressors won't have any where near the volume you will want. I would be looking at the endless air as this is about the biggest volume under bonnet compressor going around, other than that the new twin ARB might work but those things are a monster!

Search for endless air, there are a few htreads on them.

Cheers Andrew

I have an Endless Air system with a 12ltr tank capacity. You will need a 30lt tank min for the purpose you require.
