I do. Usually full at 200psi

It is wired straight to the battery but I have a switch in the dash to turn it on. I left it straight wired once and it cut on one night while I was asleep. The pressure switch failed to turn off the compressor and the inline circuit breaker I had failed so it ran all night until the batteries were dead. Since then I added the switch.

Depends on how long you hold it down but with 1/2 valve you push some air pretty quick. Overall, I would say 30secs of full blowing time.

IDK off hand but Im sure ViAiR has it on thier site

Not too loud but you can heat it running. I have it mounted on rubber bushing to keep the vibration noise down.

IDK, but again, Im sure Viair has it on thier site

I am happy with mine. Ive had it a good while now and never any issues

Again, I keep air tools and hoses with me just in case I need them

It ain't a train horn but a 139db boat horn on my VTX1800. Will make a car jump lanes (main street), folks pee their pants (Walmart) and put a dump truck in a ditch (country road). I won't go into specific's, but it work good... I also think it boils the gas in the gas tank, so it's best not to lay on it to much.
