Does Tank Size Matter Air Compressor

The compressors we chose have tanks ranging from 1 to 6 gallons. A larger tank holds more air and will allow you to use more air before the pressure drops and the motor kicks on to refill the tank. That might let you avoid stopping work while the compressor refills the tank.

How big of a tank do I need on my air compressor?

How large should I size my air tank? It is recommended to have a minimum of 2 gallons of storage per every CFM and we highly recommend having 4 gallons of storage per CFM.

What is the advantage of a larger tank on an air compressor?

A tank is a small expense compared to the other items in your air system. In most cases, a larger air receiver can improve energy savings, air quality and pressure stability. It can also reduce maintenance costs and extend the life of your air compressors.
