Default Welding on a compressor tank :-(

I was thinking overnight. If the issue is fatigue from vibration, what
if I take the motor and pump off, set them up somewhere else, weld and
test the tank, and use it as air receiver tank at a slightly lower
pressure (say, 120-150 PSI).

Then further fatigue will not be an issue, as there will not be
further vibration.
