Abstract
An air compressor includes a fuel tank at least partially supported by the air compressor guard, allowing for a larger fuel tank and eliminating the need for a separate fuel tank support. The air compressor includes a gasoline engine connected to an air pump via a belt; the guard covers the belt. A frame may also partially support the fuel tank. The air compressor may also include a manifold assembly, where the manifolds are connected via a unique mechanism. Two manifolds, each having a plate extending therefrom, surround a regulator, and the manifold plates are connected using a set of bolts. The regulator is held to the manifolds by being clamped between the plates.
