What Exactly are you linking??
Air ? Electric? Fan Belts? The 1st one yes if your compressor can Handel the extra cubic feet of air space it has to fill . if you have a big compressor that is of a industrial quality then yes If you have a little home owners one trying to keep a 60 gallon tank filled using a 3/4" impact it will burn up eventually, sooner or later.

Yup, it'll work just fine. Just plumb them together and draw from either one. I would disconnect the plumping from the failed compressor to the tank, and plug the hole just so your aren't feeding air back to the failed compressor. Bob |

Yea that will work OK If its already in place & you don't plan on keeping the "blown up" one you can just use a piece of air hose in between them .
Just like filling a portable Air tank, Just keep in mind the motor is gonna work 2 times as much to if you use a lot of volume. R

I do it with a small 2 hp 7 gal compressor and a 2 gal 1/4 hp compressor running in tandem, they charge an extra tank ( portable hooked in through 1/4" line ) and sometimes 2 tanks, but the second extra tank is charged with the schrader valve in the other tanks manifold.
