    7 kids yikes. I thought the guy with 5 kids who posted the same question like a week ago was in a tough spot.

    inflating tire, cubic feet of air in tire and in air tank and psi

    For brevity, can you come up with a more accurate calculation than I did in the same amount of time? Fwiw? What is the precise internal volume of the tire in question? Hold on, let me get my graduated cylinder.

    inflating tire, cubic feet of air in tire and in air tank and psi

    Right, but its just for emergency use per the OP so small/light/easy would be best IMO.

    inflating tire, cubic feet of air in tire and in air tank and psi

    Your numbers are off by a decimal point. But the greater point remains, why have a single user, huge air tank that depends on being refilled when you could have an endless amount of air from one of these, For $40 and just throw it in the van...

    inflating tire, cubic feet of air in tire and in air tank and psi

    FYI my napkin calculations put a 235/75R16 tire (guessed at 30x8 size) inus rim at about 1000 cubic inches of volume. logic would dictate this would require 2000 cubic inches of volume at 170psi to fill 1000 cubic inches to 85psi. that would be ~8.7 gallons. 170 psi is high for an air tank, so...

    Cool cooler...

    Nice hack, but Pelican cooler - $300 Dry ice $15 x 10? trips per year - $150 Time/gas to buy dry ice - priceless Running out of dry ice mid trip because the lid was left open - priceless Whynter 45 fridge, $420 The math still doesnt add up for me. As "tactical" as these Pelican coolers are...

    inflating tire, cubic feet of air in tire and in air tank and psi

    Get a CO2 tank. Way more efficient volume wise for this use case. You could do what you are saying with a 20oz "paintball tank" I'm pretty sure - versus like 10 gallons of compressed air at 150psi (wild *** guess).

    1988 RRC 4.6L Conversion - Need some assistance

    BTW there are no "RAVE procedures" on swapping in a 4.6 or diagnosing a no start condition. The diagnosis is up to you. Check out this facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/936942093053338/

    1988 RRC 4.6L Conversion - Need some assistance

    There are no crank and cam position sensors on the RRC 14CUX system. But your other points are valid. Double check the basics.

    1988 RRC 4.6L Conversion - Need some assistance

    It's going to be pretty tough to help you then. " it does appear that fuel is pumping into the system up to the rails" - It should be obvious. the fuel pump delivers about 45psi of fuel pressure. If you have the fuel line disconnected and turn the key on, it will push a lot of fuel out of the...

    A domestic "Outlier": Trailblazer?

    A friend had one here in the northeast. It was a bit unwieldy on trails (poor ground clearance) and seemed to not hold up very well. I think it might be a decent dirt road cruiser or boat tow rig but anything that required articulation or ground clearance would be above its durability level.

    Installing a used Warn - can't remove two socket head screws.

    It's the same on all warn winches that I know of - but the problem is that if the square nut has a bolt shank stuck in it which protrudes into the hole, there is no way of getting it out. (you cant slide the nut out sideways if theres a bolt nub stuck in there)

    Compressed air solution

    Thats a 1/3 gallon integrated tank with cooling fins to cool the air before it enters a hose. Pretty nice design really - I wish mine had it. Every hose I attached to the Extreme Aire would burst within 30 seconds of use from the heat and pressure until I added a stainless braided leader hose to...

    Compressed air solution

    ExtremeAire Outback Magnum in the rear cargo area, plumbed to both rock sliders as tanks (about 7 gallons total capacity) with 3/8" air brake line and push connect fittings. On a 120/150psi switch, 200A continuous rated solenoid, 100A fuse, #4 welding cable. Air chuck on a bulkhead fitting in...

    Installing a used Warn - can't remove two socket head screws.

    You're in for it now. Those bolts are threaded into captive square nuts inside the winch foot. If you cant get them to unscrew (or if you break one off at the nut) you'll be cutting apart the aluminum winch foot to get it out. At this stage in the game I'd probably cut the shank down quite a bit...

    On board air - melting relays

    You likely had high resistance to ground before, so the compressor was not able to draw full power. Now that it's wired properly it is pulling the current that it should be and blowing the undersized fuse.
