questiin about air testing

So I will be doing an air test on my hpo system this week. My question is will my little compresser I use for my nail guns work? Or do I need a compresser that is hooked up to an air dryer to remove the moistier from the air.

It should be fine, just drain the tank and blow out the hose before you start. Hopefully it's big enough to catch it's breath and shut off, or you have enough hose to get it far away from the truck. It's important to be able to hear the air leak in the engine.
