TXED012 Tuxing compret
- Thread starter OldVet
- Start date
Had it less than a month. Not any complete fills yet.
I got a big surprise yesterday, was bringing the Tux up to the tanks 3000 psi and I was used to my Gx taking a long time to pressurize the dual gold filters. Forget the speed difference within a minute it shut off. I thought I blew a breaker or a gfci .
Checked my electric panel and everything was on. Then looked at compressor. Ooooo it went to 4500 quickly and did what it’s supposed to do, shut off

This is my compressor I got back in about 1986 when Gemco went out of business. I change the oil only with non detergent oil. It still runs today although slightly noisier than back then.
Below is a compressor that my shop used for about 4 or 5 years before someone decided to use the same 0/20 synthetic that we use in the cars as the replacement oil for the compressor. It worked fine before the 0/20 and worked good for a while with the 0/20 until it started blowing oil into the air and developed a rod knock.
I had plans to put a new compressor on top of this thing and reuse it, but it has not happen yet.

I seen some compressor heads that look like yours on the big green tank.
You can find them at harbor freight tools.

A couple things here. First I seen a oil water filter the gold kind for HP about 7 inches long at Walmart for only $25.80 it appears to be the same one on Amazon for $70+. It shows in the pictures a sweat desiccant, but in the pictures of what it comes with does not show that , so does anyone know where to get this sweat desiccant from. #2 I found another Tuxing compressor on e Bay it is a single cylinder also water , and air cooled.
It has a air flow rate of 35 liters per minute a little slower than the twin.
With a 1,800 copper wire motor , and is suitable for large capacity tank. A bit slower , but 1/2 the price. I did not see a manufacturer warranty , or a email extended warranty offered. Does anyone have this model , and is it reliable.? I could not find a advertised model number. Thanks.

half the price of what ? An 012 ?
A Tuxing txed012 on their own site is $319. Maybe cheaper if look around Aliexpress.
So if you want an even cheaper compressor damn … $160 . Some people pay more for a hand pump.

The single cylinder I was referring to on e Bay is $209. , and on the same site
" Not the Tuxing site" the 012 is $399 on e Bay , I was off a Little bit 1/2 of 399 is 199 .50 , so I was off by $9.50.
Any way the Tuxing site does not offer a lot of things like eBay like free 30 day returns, and extended protection plans.
Both machines will do the same thing just the twin does it faster. As long as it works good why should pay nearly twice as much. I can't use a hand pump , and don't want one. I was asking for help if anyone had one of these single cylinder compressors , and how dependable they are. Not to be ran down for being a cheap person. I'm just a thrifty shopper , and I have all the time in the world. I can wait a few extra minutes to fill a tank. Please don't reply to one of my post to run me down when I asking for help. God bless you.

A big surprise for me when I switched to the TXED-M042 was how much quieter it was than my original cheapo yong heng knockoff. Not that the 042 is quiet it was that those single lung are LOUD.

Thanks Matt I was looking for a good reason not to get the single. Good to know. Looks like the 042 it is. I have learned , so much from everyone.I know to use the right oil , and to get a better water pump right from the start.
Thanks blackdog for your help in the beginning of this as well . Oh yeah use ice if necessary. It probably will be necessary in this triple didget heat in the Arizona sun.

I guess you were referring to me, I don’t know how you think I was running you down. I’m duly impressed as to the inexpensive compressors available. You mentioned 1/2 the price of an 012 , being I’ve been keeping up with the
Tuxing stuff I am aware of the prices. I’m quite amazed that something can be had even cheaper. I know what I paid for the 042 and it’s a lot for little money.
Oh I’m not hand pumping either . Another reference to what some things cost in relation to what we get buying these .

While reading through this thread I noticed the mention of a magnet applied for collection of particles and it occurred that if a magnet collects particles in the bottom of my compressor, I already have a problem.. where did these particles come from? Are they from the original machining of the compressor or is my compressor failing?
I suggest running any new compressor for a short period of time with the dead head in the fill whip to bring it to pressure then shut it down, clean it out and change the oil.

Same as a car engine. The majority from initial runs. Will also happen throughout the life of the engine. With the overall use of aluminum for the cases and heads it can only come from the crank and rods same as compressors.

I apologize blackdog899. I took it the wrong way.. My final decision is to get the 012 then add the gold 7" filter from Walmart in line. It should be ok for I need. Do you know where to get the little beads called sweat desiccant.

Thankyou, OV
The 012 is the same as the 042 I think except the gold filters.
I haven’t really got to push mine yet. I got a 9 liter bottle before I got the Tux , filled it with the Gx cs4 I already bought.
Took 5 hours but never got hot. So only been topping off . Tempted to tether a gun and run it down just to time the Tux.
You may have seen me say this but the Tuxing txed series would have been bought instead of the Gx had I known about them. I just finished a cooling and filtering project on my Gx that didnt need it but I got carried away.

I don't know if you seen my post under tanks ,pumps , compressors but I started one called Vevor JUNK.
This is the reason I started this post.
They moved it here to tanks , pumps , compressors. Everyone has been great help. This can help save me from making the same mistake twice. It has been a real pleasure to learn from everyone here. I want to chat with you about a recent development concerning these Tuxing machines.
I don't know how to PM , or what that stands for. Can you text me
520-912-8651. Thanks Steve.
