A Featured Post!

From time to time I get memorable posts from kind visitors to my site. Since sometimes they are buried down into several pages of questions and comments, I'd decided to feature one at a time on my home page so you might enjoy them too. This is the first of them, from Wayne, about his Campbell Hausfeld oil less compressor model number FP200300AV that continuously blows the fuse despite everything that he did..., entitled:

My Disintegrating Air Compressor!

"Bill thank you so much for your advice. I had fun driving down the kwinana fwy at 110 and pushing it (Not my advice but the compressor - I hope) out the window of my truck and watching it disintegrate. 👍 " The entire thread is here. And, I hope you went back and picked up the pieces!
