Most of the time the tank size of an air compressor is based on common practice or the size of the baseplate needed to mount the air compressor pump and the motor.
The most critical part of choosing an air compressor is the CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) that your application demands. With a piston air compressor, you will need to supply at least 25% more CFM than your tool or machine needs, smaller compressors should supply 50% or more CFM than the application requires.
Here is a guide that you can use to figure out what compressor fits your needs the best.
