Question:
Can you recommend a portable air compressor to attach to battery or cigarette lighter, for a 12 inch trailer tire to 90 pounds per square inch?

Expert Reply:
The best portable air compressor we have to fill a small trailer tire like part # AM10062 to 90 psi is the Bulldog Winch Portable Air Compressor part # BDW41003. This compressor is actually rated to 150 psi and attaches to the battery via alligator clamps. The reason you will want at least a 150 psi compressor is because it would take ages to fill the tire to 90 psi with a 100 psi air compressor which is the next most common size. The alligator clamps will also allow the compressor to run at full power whereas you could blow a fuse if using the cigarette lighter port. The air compressor comes with everything you need including a storage bag and inflation hose/fittings.
