5.9 engine mounted air pump???

anybody make one? i would like to rid my truck of the loud crappy elec pump that powers the air horns, so i would like to find a kit that mounts some sorta air pump to the engine that will fill up my tank when its running, the last time i looked was last year and nobody made one, but somebody must by now......

You can convert an a/c pump into one easily, but I'm not sure how to keep it lubed. They will pump up to 120 quick.

If you are using a rotary style pump, you have to put an oil drip on the intake side and on the output side; you put a COALESCING FILTER to take the oil out. If you use a York style pump they have oil in the crankcase so all you need is the COALESCING FILTER on the output. It is best to mount the COALESCING FILTER away from the pump. I had on mounted about a foot away from the pump and the air coming from the pump was hot enough to melt the inside of the COALESCING FILTER.
