Re: engine drive vs. remote compressor

The 2 pros of running an EDC are faster fill times and no amp draw to run...I can't really think of any others as the main reason it's done is the faster fill times alone.

The downfalls of the EDC are that it needs to be oiled, the oil must be filtered out of the system, the engine must be running for it to work, it typically takes fab work to get one installed and lastly...it's pretty darn ugly under the hood (if you go with a York).

90% or more people will be happy running 2 electric compressors to fill a 5 gallon tank.
