I read your gas boosting piece
http://www.nigelhewitt.co.uk/booster/index.html very interesting!

I just got my hands on an AG-62 and I'm in the process of setting it up.
Are you using a scuba tank for the air drive? (via the BC "nipple"? Surely
this consumes vast quantities of air? Or, are you using "shop air" from a
compressor?

I use twin 10s at 300 bar when away from home and, yes, it eats gas.
At home I have a 1.5HP 8bar air line thing and it can't keep up but
that just means everything runs a bit slowly. I'm not in a hurry as
I'm normally only pumping 3L tanks these days.
