Overheating ARB compressor
I feel bad for my compressor, really. It's a hard job to fill up 4 37s after airing down to hit the trail. Anyhow, it has been overheating before I can finish the job completely. I'm trying to think up some mechanisms to draw heat out of the unit while it's working. Anybody else have any ideas that they've used?

I have a portable air tank, but I haven't really used it much. I'll have to give it a shot next time. I'm thinking of fabricating a couple of large heat sinks and couple fans to them that are switched with the compressor. They can mount on the side of the unit. Nice ideas so far!
