RE AIR PUMP FOR 40/50 CHASSIS. X.3454C

We have tried an air pump with the pressing sweated at the top of the piston in order to increase the pressure from 2 lbs. to 3 lbs. We find that this is quite satisfactory.

The maximum pressure depends on the leakage so that we must not expect to find all pumps will be exactly the same.
