Hi Experts,

I have to say, even though I am a very technical person, HVAC/mechanical is amazing to me. I hope that's what you call it. .
Anyway, I want to make a homemade compressor and found a brand new Embraco EGY 90 HLPW in the box for 10.00. I 'think' I found the discharge line but have some questions.
1. can I just connect the discharge line to my tank via some pressure relief valves, gauges, switches, etc., (safety first)?
2. When I oil it what oil can I use and where do I put it in?
3. How much oil would I use?
4. How much time should I allow for the unit to rest before it kicks back on? How long should I wait before panicking that it's broken?
5. Any 'gotchas' with the Embraco product line?

I am using some You Tube videos to try this. If it breaks, nothing lost.
Thanks
