Depends on where you're going to breathe it. Minor contaminates at 1
atmosphere can kill at several atmospheres (underwater). I wouldn't.

This type of question is better asked directly of Campbell Hausefeld than a
usenet newsgroup. Imagine what the results of bad advice could be at 100ft
below sea level...

Or use the output of your shop vac.

I suspect that the question was aimed at the use of the compressor to
support air-supplied respirators.

I'd sure want to directly ask CH about the specific model before

Yeah, I'd be nervous about that long electric cord, out to the
boat, too.
Same principle as questions about glue I guess. Why read the
label, and call the 1-800 number, when you can ask here? If you got
bad, or wrong, advice from the manufacturer, you'd at least have someone
you could sue.

It'd probably still be better to check with the manufacturer wouldn't it?
