Me and my friend were talking and we were wondering if it is possible to recycle your air? Is it possible to connect the dump vaves back to the air tank and recycle the air?

no not enough pressure to push the air back in the tanks, cool thought though, never hurts to try, just be sure to put a check valve on the tank for that dump valve so there is no back feed

guess you could hook the dump valves thru a check and into the comp intake, but you'd probably just screw up the comps.

interesting idea, but practically its a waste of time and money imo. you guys figure out a nitrogen recycling system that might actually save some of these guys money and you'll be onto something.

not impractical, i hated waiting for my tanks to fill, this in turn will save youre alternators life span, longer compressor life, and also more play time... its an awesome idea i wanna see how it works
