Will i have a problem if i run regular plastic airline out of a viair 380? I got one but dont have the stock leader hose that come with it. (bought it used) I mainly run a bottle but i want a comp for those just in case times.

Will there be a problem?

maybe. i've blown the plastic line with my comp heating up before. you can buy just the leader hoses from suicidedoors i think it's no more then 20 bucks.

i dont know for sure. i do know the 480s and 380s heads get hot as fuck n it seems like a egg could be cooked on them. i would assume that as long as you ran a metal fitting out the exasust for the line that you could use a compression fitting for attaching the line, i would still run a check valve though

no, just get a new leader hose.... if you use regular airline it may melt, plus theres alot of vibration that you might have trouble with fittings leaking

If you already have a fitting/line to hook up temporary since you have the bottle.. go ahead, but email me your mailing info. and I'll get you a brand new leader hose sent out just so there's no worries and you have a safe permanent fix asap

Kinda strapped for cash right now brotha, thats why i was hoping it would be ok with the plastic line.

No problem, it's something small I'm able to just help out with.. I'll get one on it's way, and you don't owe me anything. Sound good? lol
