Who has recommendations for inline filters on the air compressor, for
water and other stuff? And sources?

thanks

I like my filter which uses a roll of toilet tissue. I'll go look at the
name on it. intermission

Okay, it's an M-30 from Motor Guard Corporation, Manteca, CA. Pricey but
effective, particularly when painting. Of course you know to cool your air
(thus condensing the water in it) by having a couple of risers in each line
with collectors and valves at the bottom of the loops to drain off water.

I notice they are freeze-drying the compressed air at the Ford Dealer before
it reaches the paint gun. If you're running an air-tool, oil it at the
inlet.

Use a 2-stage compressor too. It runs cooler. Hot air is not good,
especially when compressed because it's usually full of moisture. And
remember Boyle's law of temperature, pressure, and volume of a gas. Well,
YOU would, Ed.
