Do not plumb your existing unit into your new one. The 5hp unit you have coming will be severely overworked, as it is not designed to pressurize more tank volume than what it has under it. I tried this. I was warned to not do it, as it would overwork my compressor, and sure enough, my 5 horse compressor is just about done, after working so much harder for a couple years now. Yes I have more air volume, but I have a compressor that runs twice as much as it used to, also.
If the compressor doesn't sell, give it away. Just don't tie it into another one, unless the motor and compressor unit on it is very overrated.
Personally, I have firearms. Lots of firearms, and ammo. I would use your non working unit as a target. That would be a fun day.
