I will throw this in though, I have a buddy who had his tank and compressor under a lean-to outside of his shop. A 60 gallon standup. He wasn't very good at draining the tank on a regular basis and one day he was in the shop and his compressor tank blew out the bottom, took off like a rocket, and broke one of the 2x6's of his lean-to.

Check out those tanks as well as you can.
That's a Very good Point.

I have checked 2 (as well as I can) of them and they checked okay .

The other one Still has the Big Motor and compressor on it so I can roll it around and shake it.

The new compressor that AussieinNC linked will probably win the contest.

Because that will eliminate another Project.
