Like that John
Something that probably will have to do some day in the future for the compressor when I move garageā¦ grumpy neighbors Any concerns for overheating for the compressor? Is it easy to get to drain condensation from the tank? 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing 2012 90 CSW, 2.2TDCI, Santorini Black |

Cheers. No real concerns of over heating, If I do use it a lot I can open the door inbetween the compressor running and as for the drain tap, I can still pull forward/remove the compressor if need be to get to the drain. 1999 Defender TD5 110

Line the enclosure with engine bay acoustic insulation 25mm minimum, double or triple up where you have the space. I have 3 ARB compressors in the car in parallel to pump up tyres quicker, with acoustic insulation stuffed everywhere. It makes a huge difference in lowering noise levels.
Also screw a cross brace or 2 to reduce vibration to the 2 large side panels, like one would with a speaker enclosure. Visitor - Freelander owner |

Having owned several compressors typically sold because if move and or too little use, I now have one of those quiet Einhell compressors. Absolutely fantastic, I would never buy a standard compressor again!
