Sorry for the confusion, it is siphon fed. Edited the title.

Thanks for the reply guys, maybe I should replace my compressor..

10psi only.

Good day all, I have a Pro-Spray Mk-2 airbrush and would like to know if 0.07 MPa supply is enough for general painting?

Thank you sir, I am so torn on buying a tank or a new compressor. Most of the compressors locally available are made in China,and i just had a bad experience regarding the quality of their products. I have to order online for the suggested compressors and the spare parts. Sorry for the confusion, the 12 psi is the pressure used to fill the air tank.

Thank you for the reply! How long does it take to fill the 2 gallon tank to 100 psi? And what is the pressure used to fill it?

Starting to learn a new hobby and is learning a lot by back-reading!

Good day all, I just have started this new hobby and bought a Mr Linear Compressor L3 recently, quite expensive for a small compressor. Standard pressure is 7 psi and maximum is at 12 psi and air volume is 3 liters per minute. It has a working time of 30 minutes only I am planning to buy an air tank and connect it to my compressor, would it be feasible to do it? During airbrushing periods, do I always need to leave the compressor on for continuous refilling or can I turn off the compressor and let the tank do the job? Are there any required pressures for the air tank? How long does it takes to fill a 5 gallons air tank with 10 psi air pressure supply? And how long does it takes to empty the air tank if the release pressure is at 32 psi? Thank you for the answers in advance!
