That's enough for a standard shift but not enough for continuous overnight or weekend operation. The EFT connection lets you feed the compressor from a separate bulk fuel tank — typically a 250 to 500 gallon job-site fuel cube or a portable diesel bowser — extending runtime to multiple days without manual refueling. For overnight cable jetting, weekend refinery turnarounds, or continuous-duty pipeline pigging, EFT is essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFull technical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFAD (variable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e575–650 CFM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePressure (variable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200–250 PSI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEngine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJohn Deere 6068HFC08, 6-cyl 6.8L turbo diesel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEmissions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEPA Tier 4 Final (DPF + DOC + SCR, DEF required)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRated horsepower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250 HP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAirend\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCP C146, variable pressure\/flow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAir treatment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePFF: aftercooler + water separator + UD filters\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAir quality target\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISO 8573-1 Class 1.7.1 instrument quality\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOnboard fuel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88 US gallons\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExternal fuel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEFT connection supports auxiliary bulk tank\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRuntime (onboard fuel only)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8+ hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRuntime with EFT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMulti-day continuous-duty capable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContainment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e110% Extended Bunded with remote drains\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCold start\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120V 1000W block heater + glow plug preheat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eController\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCP XC2003 with diagnostic display\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for the most demanding jobsites\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContinuous-duty sandblasting and coating prep\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBridge maintenance, ship and barge yards, tank farm coating projects — anywhere a blast crew is mobilized for days or weeks of continuous operation.
