Screw Mobile Compressor 304cfm 10bar

Specifications

Diesel compressors have other benefits:

• They tend to be more powerful than similar sized petrol powered machines, providing higher torque, and are suited to heavy duty and more industrial applications.
• Diesel as a fuel is generally more economical than petrol.
• A diesel air compressor, although often slightly more expensive to purchase initially, will usually require less maintenance than a petrol engine, due to their simpler ignition system.

But there are downsides too:

• Diesel air compressors can be bulkier and heavier and will also be noisier than a compressor using electricity or petrol for power.
• Due to the toxicity of their exhaust fumes, they would not be suitable for use indoors or at home. However if the compressor is being used outside, this is not so much of a problem.

Another related issue to consider will be storing and transporting the diesel fuel in a suitably safe manner.
