No problem my friend, we all do that at times. Wink [;)]
I think it would be problematic to use a tank because the Air Star V has an automatic shutoff, although I am not sure how an airtank affects that really.
I do remember someone on this forum putting an air tank on a Silentaire Scorpion which is about the same compressor and they had problems.
I used an Air Star V at the Nationals in Phoenix and I liked it just the way it was.

I'm sorry, I guess I should have been more clear, my apologies.

With the Air Star V should I use a tank in line? what are the pro's and con's? Is it at all necessary to do so?

Thanks...................Heater

What do you mean by "set up a compressor and tank?"
The Air Star V does not have a tank.
Are you saying you want to add a tank to it?
