I'd try for an odd-ball vehicular propane tank, much heavier wall--try

The little
20-40Lb tanks are too thin-walled--rust out quick--put water drain in
bottom!!


Too thin walled? If thin, they'd not be ASME certified? I thought
most air containers has them lined for rust protection?

Now, what about the true air tanks?

I have to replace that portable old horizontal tank, appox 10-12 gal
with feet attached or portable tank with wheels removed.

I do have Graingers place on same block where our shop is but their
price for a 11 gal portable tank with mount platform for compressor
and motor for about 240 canadian. I think this is bit highway
robbery. By the way this one is ASME certified.

How can I tell this pop-off valve is hard seat type? Graingers
catalog leaves much to be desired on info.

Keep them coming, your comments are great!

New proper commerical quality portable appox 10gal compressor is over
1,600 canadian. Not the 600 home depot quality, we use it 6 days a
week on all the time for ready air availablity. Our shop doesn't
have this kind of money but I'm making sure this air compressor is
done properly.

Yes I do have the air valve, air regulator, old shutoff switch that
was hacked together. I rather get a new switch with manual switch cut
off. Need to get pop-off valve!
