Compressor Help

[Steveonamission]

I recieved a compressor this morning after a LONG wait for a replacement model, as the one i ordered i was told was faulty...

Anyway, maybe i am doing something wrong, but its been on for quite a while, and the pressure needle is still at 0 even when i press the airbrush trigger for air (there is a slight trickle of air from the airbrush, but i can blow harder than that). Ive checked the hose is tight at both connections also.

I understand the pressure guage doesnt show working pressure, only once the airbrush is used, but it doesnt seem to be working at all..

Is it faulty too?

Is the screw plug in at the bottom of the tank?

Hi mate, its not, i did order that one as discussed as its the one i wanted, but they emailed and said the one i bought off ebay was faulty and they didnt have any left in stock, so they sent me a AS-18A , and insisted its the equivalent spec.

Just emailed everythingairbrush to see about compensation, maybe a free set of Auto Air Paints

AS-18A, its not what i wanted, but they said it will do the same job as the AS-178 i originally ordered
