This 50 extension cord better be pretty hairy to handle a 4 hp motor. A 
regular cord will not handle the current (cord will get hot, motor will
run slow and eventually a fuse or breaker will blow). Be sure to get use
a very heavy duty cord such as those used by commercial contractors.

If you have the choice of buying an extension cord or an extension hose, 
buy the cord. You lose pressure at the end of a long air hose vs whats
available at the tank.
