another compressor question!

You have a compressor that will work? Post the motor plate ratings and we can figure out how big 250 ft or so wire needs to be. If you could get by with 10-2/ plus ground "cheap" OD direct burial romex, it would not cost too much. I'm not saying you need to bury it, just use it when you need it as an extension cord[/

I sold my compressor when I moved to tx last fall. if I run to shop I would have to trench and bury and put in pvc if I did . I will just look for a smaller compressor than runs off 110. I am told a 30 gal. tank can get me by. like said, I can make do.
just don't really want to have the work, expense to put in 220 and move in couple years.
