Can you lay down an 80 gallon air compressor?
As a general rule you should never lay an air compressor on its side unless its brand new. New air compressors don’t typically come with oil so laying them down won’t cause any harm. Used compressors, however, will have oil in them which, if tipped over, can get into areas it shouldn’t and cause problems.

Does adding an air tank to a compressor increase CFM?
Use an Auxiliary Storage Tank Another method to help produce more airflow through your air compressor expands upon the idea in our first method, reducing the pressure on your regulator. As we explained in the previous examples, reducing the outlet pressure allows you to produce more airflow for a longer period of time.
Can I lay an air compressor on its side for transport?
If an air compressor is brand new and you are transporting it from the store to your workshop, you will be able to transport it on its side, because a new air compressor is not usually filled with oil. On the other hand, if you are purchasing a second-hand air compressor, do not lay it on its side.

Large tank size air compressors will let you inflate tire without any refill.
How can I make my air compressor stronger?
5 Steps to Achieve Maximum Air Compressor Efficiency
- Use 3/8″ air hose whenever possible. All hoses cause some degree of frictional loss.
- Use shorter lengths of air hose. The idea here is similar to #1.
- Use an auxiliary tank.
- Lubricate your pneumatic tools regularly.
- Check the system for leaks.
