    Saw a small portable ac on fb the other day. Was pretty cool, your pour two water bottles into it. Plug in turn on. It was about the size of a quart of oil.

    If you get pulled over, it will be for the gas can, it is actually illegal no matter if it is in a bracket or not.

    You need a gas can that conformed to the dot requirements, it has a loop above the handle,

    Nice setup. And I have seen several guys that showed some ingenuity in their a/c -generator setups. I would not want the dot to see the gravity fed system though. You can be cited.

    I'm no DOT police, but those airlines? Are zip ties ok? I think you need the separators on air lines.
