Which air starter is appropriate for my 6v53 ?
 
Title says is all, want to put air start on my Detroit and have no idea how to choose one.

I've never had an Air Starter, but I'm wondering what you do when you run out of air pressure to get it started so you can build up more air?

Lots of times when we started our trucks after sitting a while, we would have anywhere from low pressure to no pressure.

Same thing you do when you run out of battery, get a jump. Or pump up a tank with a bicycle pump...or a cigarette lighter powered compressor. But I have a hand/foot. Powered tire pump ...I don't have a hand powered generator.

There was also a hydraulic starter that had a spring loaded accumulator that could also be hand pumped.
