Hi all
I bought the compressor a while back and used it in anger for the first time yesterday
I tried it out on my Renault work horse first and I am glad I did
I inflated the tyres and spare to about 37psi approx. as required.
It took about 5 minutes per tyre (it is a small compressor) and watched the gauge on the compressor throughout
I thought that the reading was inaccurate but I carried on and the tyres inflated ok but looked too high.
I was near a petrol garage today and checked them again (because I was unhappy with the ride) with their forecourt machine.
Each tyre was registering about 52psi!!!
I released the air on each to get it back to normal and got home ok.
I intend to go and check them now with my own little gauge.
Also the compressor became very hot after the second tyre - probably because I over inflated
but be warned
Glad I did not use it on the QP
