They make a model with cooling, filtering and auto stop, the whole works. It’s about halfway to the cost of an Alkin though. Been mulling the idea over a bit, just makes me nervous.

If you keep it cool while running, don't blow a dozen discs with overcharging, unit like this can keep going for a long long time. Hope it serves you well.

I got outdated Scott firefighter SCBA tanks off of eBay. The last one I got was a 30 minute for $35.00 shipped. If you have your own compressor it is no problem to fill them, but you cant get them filled at a dive shop with them being out dated. On that note there is talk that the expiration dates are going from 15 years to 20 so that just proves that there is nothing wrong with the used ones.
here is the volume of the SCBA tanks:
30 minute cylinder = 45 cu ft.
45 minute cylinder = 66 cu ft.
60 minute cylinder = 88 cu ft

I vote for the Alkin. I have the Tuxing txed32. Just sent it out for rebuild. Just don't have time to do it myself. The tuxing and yong heng are a good base but you have to be mechanical and clean up the sloppy assembly.

I keep the temp under 110 and when its hot i threw in a block of ice, and i do have anti-freeze in the cooler to keep rust away.

(Feb. 2022) I bought the "TXEDT032" Dec. 24th, 2021 on Amazon with a 4-year warranty and I have been using it for multiple PCP Air guns & (Two) 45 minute (68 cu ft ?) 4500 PSI SCBA tanks. The unit has about 2 HOURS +/- run time on it so far, which consists of the following usage:
A 10 min. test run after setup, 3 total top-offs of the SCBA tank(s), and a single EMPTY to FULL fill of an SCBA tank (all 4300 PSI fills).
DETAILS: (2) top-offs of a re-certified circa 2012 SCBA tank from approx. 3100-4300 PSI each time (approx. 25 min. +/- total), (1) top-off (same tank) from about 2800-4300 PSI (approx. 15 min. total), and a single complete fill on a different re-certified circa 2016 SCBA from 0-4300 PSI (approx. 60 min. +/- total) with no issues to mention.
NOTE: On the 0-4300 PSI fill, I stopped at 2500 PSI and let the compressor rest (Cooling system running) for 15-20 min., then continued to the 4300 PSI total fill.
All fill times were done outside in 45F - 48F degrees for the top-offs and about 43F +/- degrees for the EMPTY to FULL 4300 PSI fill. Hope this input helps!
UPDATE 5/30/2022
I now have used the compressor for over 5 hours. At the 5 hour mark I changed the oil for the 1st time (which is quite easy!). I'm using "Royal Purple" Synthetic oil ("Synfilm Recip. 100") - Reciprocating Air Compressor Oil. The Tuxing TXEDT032 compressor has been a great investment so far and the product seems to be of above average quality.
