I have a dual head Copeland compressor in my shop that came out of a dental office. The only problem with it is a small sized tank (20 gal) and it runs a whole lot when I'm sanding or running other air tools. The heads are piston type with a wet sump crankcase.
Question is: Can I get a propane tank or other type of tank and plumb it in to give the compressor more capacity? What I plan to do is put the auxiliary tank just outside the wall of the shop and run a line in to the existing compressor tank. I plan to put a drier and filter in the line. Am I on the right track?
