Nope, the 4 cylinder VW engine power a seperate compressor. I think it is/was Sullaire. It is not on a trailer and has no tank.

Well, it is at its new home, now what to do with it. It does run heard it myself. I am a little confused on some pieces, but will cover those later. Yes, I did get it much less than the swiss ones. Long day, but it is home safe.
