Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Pilot Air’s petrol powered compressors ideal for remote or off-grid work sites?
The Petrol Powered range uses Honda or Kohler petrol engines and robust ‘K’ series pumps, making them perfect for locations without reliable mains power, yet still built for Australia’s heat, dust, and tough conditions.
How much air delivery can I expect from the petrol powered models?
Models like the K17P / K17PS deliver about 308 L/min free air delivery with a 100 L receiver, while larger options such as the K50P offer up to 888 L/min with a 268 L receiver. Full specs are listed under the Petrol Powered page.
Can these petrol compressors be used in Sydney and urban areas where noise or emissions are regulated?
Yes — although petrol engines are inherently louder, models in this range like the K17 Tallboy are built to meet standards (e.g. AS4637) and are best used where mains-power isn’t available but local regulations and conditions allow. See compliance and acceptable usage guidance on the Petrol Powered product category
Are spare parts and service support available locally for petrol powered compressors?
Absolutely. We maintain spares for ‘K’ series pumps, Honda or Kohler engines, receivers, belts etc. in Sydney via our Service & Spares Division at Auburn, and we support all models listed on the Petrol Powered page.
What are the benefits of using petrol powered compressors over electric versions?
Petrol-powered compressors offer mobility, independence from electrical supply, and strong performance in remote or mobile applications. They are particularly useful on sites where power infrastructure is limited, yet you still require reliable compressed air—built to endure Australia’s conditions, trusted by Sydney operations.
Pilot Air Reviews
We have a growing manufacturing business and our air supply needed to be upgraded to deliver to a clean volume of air to specific machines and mainly our spray booth. 3 Months ago the team at Pilot Air evaluated our requirement and delivered an excellent solution, we have had time to run the system for a considerable time and found it to be excellent. Also Australian Manufactured to boot. Very Happy.

My husband recently bought a second hand Trademaster 12 air compressor in need of some maintenance. He took it to the Silverwater servicing centre with no prior arrangement. The staff were polite, obliging, and eager to help, and he was impressed with the service provided. Well done Pilot Air!

Thanks Pilot Air! We have just purchased our third pilot compressor (K50). Our oldest one (K25) is 14 years old and still going strong, used all day every day only replaced pressure switch.
