WARNING: RISk Of BURSTING
Air tank: On February 26, 2002, the U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission published Release # 02-108 concerning air
compressor tank safety:
Air compressor receiver tanks do not have an infinite life. Tank life
is dependent upon several factors, some of which include operating
conditions, ambient conditions, proper installations, field modifica-
tions, and the level of maintenance. The exact effect of these fac-
tors on air receiver life is difficult to predict.
If proper maintenance procedures are not followed, internal corro-
sion to the inner wall of the air receiver tank can cause the air tank
to unexpectedly rupture allowing pressurized air to suddenly and
forcefully escape, posing risk of injury to consumers.
Your compressor air tank must be removed from service by the end
of the year shown on your tank warning label.
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank,
and result in a violent air tank explosion:
