Ya'll think this type of air compressor would be strong enough to handle airing up bus tires? and running air powered metal cutting disks, sanders, etc for a prolonged period, say 2-5hrs per sesion?

seems like it would fit my needs as far as mobility and storage.

another thought would be to mount a tank, and somehow power the compressor from the engine. would this even be possible / practical?
Edit: apparently it is possible http://www.vmac.ca/index.php?underhood

thanks

only ever used a over sized shop compressor that sat in the corner of the shop so wasn't sure what really was required.

for busses with air brakes, i think it is a good idea to put a fitting by the aux tank so that you can run a large air hose to a one inch air wrench so you can change tires, use the air jack, etc. That is what i did, and i occasionally use the bus air to pump up tires, etc, and on my last coach bus, i used the bus air to paint the thing...
(I also made a 6 foot long compartment by the tanks to hold all my air tools, hoses and so forth...)
As far as your posted compressor, it looks ok to me.
