Has anyone purchased a YONG HENG recently?

I bought my YH compressor through Walmart and opted for the $34 3 year extended warranty. I paid with Paypal and I'm not sure if it made a different but in the notes section I wrote. "acceptance of this payment is considered an agreement that I am to receive an authentic YH product. If not Walmart agrees to issue a full refund including return shipping". I did in fact receive an authentic YH compressor.
For the first year I filled tanks and what ever I wanted just to test it while still under warranty. It's now 3 years later and still running as it did when I got it. I only fill guns now. I have changed the oil 3 times using Air Venturi's compressor oil purchased though Pyramyd Air.
If it dies tomorrow I feel I have got my $100 per year out of it and will most likely rebuild it with parts available online for around $50.
YMMV

I made a closed loop cooling system for a YH, a couple of years ago, to allow me to use it at the range. It weighted close to 60 pounds, so it was OK portable, but wouldn't wish to pack it up too many stories.


The radiator I used was a Nissan Xterra heater core. If it is of value, I can offer what I used and how I did it.

I found that the closed loop cooling system was not sufficient for filling a 45-minute SCBA tank, but fine for rifles. Cooling from a water faucet was the best cooling solution that I found, for filling tanks.

I finally decided that I was going down the wrong path in using tanks and home compressor for filling my guns, and switched to a GX CS3 for direct filling at the range. That was the best solution for me, but not necessarily for others, of course.

Here it is mocked up which makes the parts easier to see.

That’s good news. I currently have one in transit from the same eBay seller. Are you using a tank or filling directly into your air rifle? Any additional filtration or water/oil capture?

I have only filled tanks, 45 & 1 hr SCBA only 2 times from empty so far, but not in 1 sitting.
I made my own cooling mods that make a difference. no ice for me, to much added time. I haven't changed the 5 gal water since I wrote the article.

I only need to run mine 15 max 20 minutes at a time and it never gets to 60c without a rest. I use the small filter that comes with it to stop oil and some/most water. That cotton filter gets changed every time i run it. Dried and reused. I bleed every 5 minutes or 10 in the winter when the humidity is below 20% in my basement. I have 2 towers in line 1st is a water separator 2nd is the desiccant, charcoal. i keep those pressurized for months at a time. To keep them pressurized i use a one-way fitting and a shut off valve. I only open the vent on the water separator a tiny bit to check for additional water.

Thanks for the info!!
