Reg, as soon as you turn the air compressor on, you should see the pressure inside the tank rising on the tank gauge. The speed with which it rises varies on the compressor size, yet you should see the needle start moving right away.

If you go back to "compressor will not build pressure page" there is a link to a page with all of the common reasons why. No point in re-typing them all again here. Have a look at that page if you would.

Cheers,
