Heretic Car Camper
Just curious how many have and carry one of these units as their last ditch back-up air compressor?

It is not well spelled out anywhere that I have seen, but the unit apparently does NOT pump engine cylinder air into the tires. It uses the engine cylinder air to cycle a piston in the main metal part. Effectively it is a two stroke, piston-ported, air powered air compressor.
Some ignition systems wouldn't be too happy about not having a spark-plug gap to jump, so if you do use one of these I'd recommend also having one of the test spark-plugs (those with the alligator clip welded onto them) in the ignition lead.
Don't know what to say to the oil burners.....
