Description
-The Atlas Air Force AF9G is a gas-powered, two-stage air compressor built for mobile service trucks and field mechanics who can't depend on shore power. A Honda GX270 9HP electric-start engine drives a 3-cylinder, 2-stage pump into a 30-gallon USA-made horizontal steel tank, delivering 18 CFM at 90 PSI and 14.5 CFM at 175 PSI — enough air to drive large impact wrenches against BUDD wheel lug nuts and other stubborn pneumatic loads in the field.
The AF9G operates between 145 and 175 PSI and ships EPA/CARB emission compliant. Pneumatic throttle control and head unloaders manage cycling under load, vibro-isolator pads steady the unit on a moving truck bed, and a finned tank inlet tube reduces internal moisture accumulation between drain intervals. A heavy-duty metal belt guard covers the drive geometry, and the integrated charging system keeps a service-truck battery topped off while the unit runs.
The Atlas Air Force line is built to the same commercial standard as the rest of the Atlas Automotive Equipment catalog — belt-driven reciprocating compressors engineered for years of trouble-free duty cycles.

FAQ
-Will the AF9G run a 1-inch impact wrench?
The AF9G delivers 18 CFM at 90 PSI and 14.5 CFM at 175 PSI, which is in the operating range for large pneumatic impact wrenches — including the BUDD wheel-lug-nut work the supplier specifically calls out. Check the CFM requirement of your specific impact tool against those numbers before deploying.
Is the engine electric start or pull start?
Electric start. The Honda GX270 on the AF9G is the electric-start variant, and the integrated charging system keeps the start battery topped off during operation.
Is this gas compressor street-legal in California?
Yes — the engine is EPA and CARB emission compliant.
What size air outlet does it have?
3/4" NPT.
How big is the tank, and where is it built?
30 gallons, horizontal orientation, USA-made steel.
