You will Enjoy having on board Compressed Air.
That brings back memories.
My Daddy had a set-up that would run a 3/4" drive IR impact.

Main thing is on those York's / the plug in the top is where you add Oil.
Keep oil in It. Daddy used it daily as a Over the Road Mechanic.
With his busy schedule sometimes it ran TOO low.
I learned a lot .
He had Dual tanks and valves on the bottom to drain the water.

Off that subject but with the same truck (That the Odometer turned 10 times) I remember one time I was riding shotgun with him and the truck quit running.
Quick survey of the situation was fuel pump not working. So
With a set of Oxy/Acy. bottles for a torch set-up in the bed of the truck.
With removal of gas cap on auxiliary tank and an Oxygen hose with (Magic Tape) and 5 lbs. pressure pushing fuel forward.

So we did not walk home.
