Review: Had to replace this compressor and Pressure switch after they burned up after 2 years. - The Compressor and switch were acting up once winter set in. The initial unit shipped with the horns, started running often, so often it drained the truck battery to the point of replacement required. I was forced to remove the fuse in winter after battery replacement. This continued into year 2 and in October I had to disable the horns until spring. Between April and June the compressor finally died (still ran all the time) and no recharging the tank. The tank was holding pressure, and we checked the air lines for leaks with none identified. Once we replaced the compressor with the heavy-duty model and the new pressure switch, the tank holds pressure, and no random running of the compressor. I verified this with a battery Trail Camera sound and motion activated, placed facing the compressor in the engine compartment for a week with no intermittent operation of the compressor noted. Fingers crossed this resolves the issue for me. One comment! We moved the intake and filter inside the truck cabin when we saw how much dirt and moisture has accumulated in that filter. This will keep the compressor cleaner and avoid moisture and dirt accumulation collecting from the engine compartment. I recommend doing this when you install this system. Best of luck!
Review: Great find! - Nice air tank pump. Haven't installed it yet, but did bench test, to make sure it works! A little pricey but hope this pump is better than the one I currently have.

## Features

- 200 PSI COMPRESSOR - A efficient 12V compressor with an air flow rate of 1.7CFM and ¼" NPT hose that will rapidly fill up your air tank for applications such as train horns, air suspension, tire inflation and air tools
- MAXIMUM PROTECTION - Equipped with a thermal overload protector switch that protects the unit by preventing the motor to overheat
- STRONG LEADER HOSE WITH CHECK VALVE - Heavy duty rubber hose covered with a stainless steel mesh for maximum protection against heat and high pressure. Installed at the end of the hose is a check valve, which prevent the air from the tank to travel back to the compressor extending the pump's lifespan
- SEALED AND MAINTENANCE FREE - A sealed design for optimal protection against the elements and a permanently lubed pump's cylinder that requires no future lubrication for convenient use
- DETACHABLE INTAKE FILTER ASSEMBLY - A washable foam filter compatible with remote-mount installations, a feature that allows you to move the air intake to a location less exposed to dust and moisture than were the compressor is installed, resulting in improved performance and better throttle response

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it cut off Automatically and come on??**
A: Cody; My unit is Wired Only. You must provide a "Pressure Switch" with "Differential Pressure Adjustment" in order to Adjust " Turn-Off and Turn-on" Pressure that you require. You also should include a Relay, and Fuse. The pressure Switch alone is not Heavy enough to carry the required Amperage of Start-up. Always include a Fuse of rated Start, and Run capacity.    boba

**Q: Any warranty? I bought it last year and it’s been sitting all winter went to turn it on it runs and dies out after a couple minutes.**
A: Hello;; Your unit appers to have a "Pressure Switch". This switch usually is Adjustable... It is normay set to turn "OFF", at a frequently needed Pressure.. Look at the Incoming Power wires.  The switch would be "In Line"  before the Compresor motor.

**Q: Anyone know where to get parts for these? the piston on mine snapped (it gets a lot of use). thanks, mason**
A: I Know This Is A 2 yr Old Question ,But The Piston Rod Snapped In My VXC8301 6 Months After Installation.
   Air Horns & Its Not Like I Use Them Everyday....Bad Design.
  I Called Amazon & Their Sending Me A New One Under Another 1 yr Warranty,You Can Add A 3yr Warranty For A $.

**Q: Can I use a one gallon tank?**
A: This pump says it can be used with up to a 5 gallon tank.

*by P***L on January 7, 2026*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quick recovery
*by A***R on January 22, 2022*

Has a quick recovery, I installed a 120 on 150 off switch and it recovers very quick compared to my other standard duty. I use on my pickup to supply the helper air bags, an air horn, and a 5 gallon holding tank. I have used to fill tires, use a blow gun, and of course the air horn. I would suggest a holding tank when using regularly for these purposes but all in all a good compressor with low ish noise and great recovery.
