What explains the popularity of Mustang autocompressors, description and characteristics of popular models
Content
The Mustang automobile compressor pumps about 25 liters of compressed air per minute. The device is able to quickly inflate not only a punctured tire, but even an inflatable boat.
The reliable and powerful Mustang automobile compressor has been known to Russian motorists for many decades. At the same time, new models differ from their predecessors in greater productivity and ergonomics.
Main advantages
The Moscow company "Agat" has been producing electric pumps for cars since the 80s of the last century. Some drivers still have a working Mustang autocompressor, made back in Soviet times, in their trunk or garage.
The Russian-made device compares favorably with analogues:
- Reliability. The company gives a record warranty of 5 years, but even after this period the device can serve for decades without any problems.
- Accuracy and sensitivity of the pressure gauge (up to 0,05 atm.) with a clear and readable scale that allows you to perfectly balance the air pressure in the opposite wheels, thereby reducing the risk of skidding the car.
- Diaphragm compressor head, which is more resistant to wear than plastic pistons and cylinders.
- Small dimensions - the device does not take up much space even in the trunk of a small-circulation car.
- High pumping speed.
- Resistant to extreme conditions. The pump is capable of trouble-free operation in the temperature range from -20 to +40 °C, even at high humidity (up to 98%).
- Detailed instructions for use in Russian.
- At the cost. The cost of the device is at the level of Chinese or Taiwanese no-name models, while the quality and reliability are much higher.

connection
The automobile compressor "Mustang" is delivered in two options. Joining goes:
- to the cigarette lighter using the "crocodiles" that come with the kit;
- directly to the battery.
But, since the pump requires a large current (about 14 A, depending on the model), it is recommended to connect it only to the battery terminals. Since most cigarette lighters have a maximum allowable voltage of 10 A, you can simply burn the device. In addition, when inflating the wheel directly from the battery, there is no need to leave the car doors open unattended, risking attracting thieves.
Performance
The Mustang automobile compressor pumps about 25 liters of compressed air per minute. The device is able to quickly inflate not only a punctured tire, but even an inflatable boat.
Description of the most famous modifications of the Mustang automobile pump
We will consider technical characteristics and a complete set of popular autocompressors from the Agat company below in the article.
Classic model
The Mustang-M automobile compressor in a metal case is compact in size and is sold in a convenient plastic case. The package also includes several adapters for inflating air mattresses, boats or other products (the elements are not fixed inside the suitcase, and dangle all over the package when moving).
Autocompressor "Mustang-M"
The device can be connected to the battery terminals without regard to polarity and is able to inflate a 14-inch wheel in about 120 seconds. At the same time, after 1,5 minutes of operation, the pump must be allowed to cool slightly, since the current consumed (14,5 A) heats up the mechanism very much.
The second generation
An improved version of the Mustang pump is an autocompressor marked "2". The scope of delivery is similar to its predecessor - model "M", but the device itself has a number of significant differences:
- 30% lighter (weighs 1,2 kg);
- heats up less and therefore is able to work longer without interruption;
- quieter buzzes and vibrates (by about 15%);
- Equipped with an improved motor that draws lower current without power loss.
Mustang 2 car compressor
The Mustang-2 compressor has a button for releasing excess pressure and an upgraded quick-release tip with a pressure gauge.
Latest, improved version
The newest model of the Mustang-3 automotive compressor weighs only 1 kg, requires less current (1,3 A) and vibrates quieter during operation than its predecessors. At the same time, the power of the device and the reliability of the case remained at the same level. Compressor Mustang-3 with increased fault tolerance and performance (180 W) is able to fully inflate even a punctured SUV wheel in a couple of minutes.

The quality of the device, proven over the years, allows you to use it for a long time without the need to disassemble, clean or repair. Buying a Mustang car compressor is not only for inflating tires or inflatable boats. The device can also be used for purging the power supply system of the machine or painting rooms with small sprayers.
