Right. Do not use an air supply not specifically 
intended for breathable air, including all the hoses, 
filters, fittings and such. You do NOT want to discover 
a cad plated fitting in your breathing system!

While you can find filter systems to remove the oil 
vapor, CO and other goodies from a shop compressor, the 
maintenance requirements can be a matter of life and 
death.

Use a breathable air system start to finish and put the 
fresh air intake well away from any fumes. It's just a 
lot esier and safer to do it from the start.
