I am not understanding the prioritizing of big tanks. You all seem to be conflating tank size with compressor capacity.

I used to borrow my friends 30 gallon craftsman. It was super loud and I indeed spent all my time waiting because compressor couldn’t even come close to keeping up with undercoating gun and it felt like 30 seconds on and then 2 minutes waiting.

I bought my own 5 gallon compressor with 6.5@90. Sure it still runs constantly with undercoating gun but I don’t need to stop nearly as much.

Small tank, big air capacity is a least usable while a big tank with small air capacity is hell.
