![]() ![]() ![]() You could get away with this a few times, but if you plan on spraying regularly, you really need a bigger tank (60 to 80 gallons) and something that will deliver a higher CFM (around 18 or so) than the gun requires (these are typically in the 5HP range). You can get away with it by spraying one small piece, wait for the tank to fill and stop running, then spray your next piece and so on. ![]() Once it starts to fill, you will need to stop spraying or else the compressor will run constantly and burn out the motor/pump. The tank will drain very quickly when spraying and will start to fill. With a 30 gallon tank and spraying small jobs like cabinet doors can a compressor rated at 5.5cfm at 90psi with a 30 gallon tank be rated at 130psi? Thanks for any responses - I tried searching for many answers but the tank size never seemed to be a factor in the responses but seems like it would be a factor for smaller jobs. The reason for the question is that I am looking to run an HLVP conversion gun that requires 11cfm at 23psi. When a compressor lists X CFM at 40 psi and x CFM at 90 psi are these specifications what the motor delivers when the tank is filling? I guess my question is can a full tank at 135 psi deliver more than the top rating at 90 psi until the tank pressure drops to 90 or below? ![]()
