A water separator is still worth fitting, as moisture can affect coatings and paintwork.Can it run a Tornador-style interior gun?For intermittent use, yes. These typically draw 5 to 7 CFM, close to this unit's output, so expect frequent cycling under continuous use.What maintenance does it need?No oil changes.
