15th May 2020, 09:00 PM #16I tend not to worry about it though.
A workshop type 120psi working compressor is very unlikely to fail by explosive decompression. Failure mode of an old tank is far more likely to be one or more small pin holes caused by rust that will bleed off under pressure.Frisky wife, happy life. Then I woke up. Oh well it was fun while it lasted.From an early age my father taught me to wear welding gloves . "Its not to protect your hands son, its to put out the fire when u set yourself alight".

Granted, you don't watch the news and hear about exploding air compressor receivers.
But, I wasn't sure about the condition of mine AND it was an interesting exercise using a pressure washer so I really couldn't help myself!
