[simpits-tech] Cockpit builders quote....

[Ben Jones]

I would never use compressed air as jay has said VERY nast micro organisms 
live in the air, and also the oil mist you would be breathing in from the 
compressor head.

Having said that there are filter setups that are avbl to take dirty 
compressed air and breath it, i cant give you a brand or product name.... 
but spray painters use the filter boxes, they are avaliable in australia 
but......

You would not catch me using one, i do compressor servicing for some of my 
clients and the sludge and shit that ozzes out of the tank is enough to make 
yo barf ! let alone consider breathing it.

scuba tank is the way to go if you really want a functional mask setup, ill 
try and dig up a brand name for you G.
