Happy Monday! Time to start the work week. I have to instruct at new employees orientation today. Always fun meeting the new recruits. It is spitting snow and my body is letting me know it is not in favor of it at all. My left knee is the size of large grapefruit and I have tension in my left deltoid that I can't work out. Oh well, the joys of living a long time. Hoping you all have a great day and stay safe and sanitary.

Here's some pictures... It's not really leaving any residual rust behind and if it is it's probably because of my 'extended' drain line setup that was put in as a convenience instead of the drain-kok valve ( insert joke here )... Notice the rust on the extension pieces...

I do drain it most times @spooler but there are some days I'll just leave it pressurized ( 175 psi ) 'cause I know that later on in the day I'll need it again to fill bike tires or what not. Now I'm thinking I don't want to leave it pressurized anytime it's unattended. I have my rec room where my family watches TV right behind that wall ! Ugh... darn it Rusty for putting this in my head...jk.

imma going to clean off those threads on the bottom of the tank later tonight just to make sure it's not rust there. I'm pretty sure it's built up grease and dirt. Perhaps time for new extension pieces too.

I leave mine pressurized all the time. It appears his pressure switch failed. That would be a better explanation. It should have had a safety valve on it also. I can't see from the video if it had one or not.

A safety valve prevents shìt like that from occurring. Just make sure it is working properly

All this talk about compressors reminds me I have to tear mine down to fix an air leak.
My kids pulled it over on the outlet and bent the pipe that comes out of the compressor and the valve that controls the output pressure. I fixed all that and now it's developed another leak in the same area.

I think I'll put a new drain valve in while I'm fixing things...

Probably cheaper to bolt some 1/8" sheet steel over the wall behind the compressor.

Any water is going to sit in that pipe and not the tank. I wouldn't worry as long as it's drained regularly. It would take a lot to fill that pipe and have water sitting inside the tank. Pretty smart setup

My compressor was my dad's. He bought around 1980. I just replaced the compressor on the tank last year. It ate the reed valves in the head, and beat the chit out of the top of the pistons. After every us. I drain the water out of it. Sometimes I get a teaspoon. Other times I get a quart. It depends on the humidity in the air that day. I also have my tank bolted down to the floor.

This is what happens when you don't drain the water out

There is a pressure switch on that exploded tank. He shows it on another video.

I leave mine pressurized all the time. When I drain it. I look for what is in the water. Mind drains into a pan that I under the drain valve.

If you want to hydro test your air tank. This is the way to do it. But I would hold the pressure for an hour tho. At Elliott and at the power plant. When we hydro tested. Min was 8 hrs.
