The electrical is pretty simple. 12 volts from the battery (Edit: This was a mistake! See update...) through a 5A fuse, to a toggle switch in the console, to the pressure switch on the tank, back to the clutch on the compressor. It grounds through the body.

I've done a couple test cycles. It takes a few minutes at idle to get the 16 gallon tank from 0-150psi, but the output obviously varies directly with rpm. Just moving it around the driveway seemed to cut the fill time in half.

I haven't actually used it yet. I've got an old craftsman impact that I'd like to be able to use on the trail. I think it'll be enough air, but I don't know how good the gun itself is. We'll see.

Either way, it should air up a tire like nobody's business!
