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 modifications, and the level
of maintenance. The exact effect of these factors on air
If proper maintenance procedures are not followed,
internal corrosion 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
Your compressor air tank must be removed from service
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the
air tank, and result in a violent air tank explosion:

How to prevent it
Air obtained directly from the
compressor should never be
used to supply air for human
consumption. In order to use air
produced by this compressor for
breathing, suitable filters and
in-line safety equipment must be
properly installed. In-line filters
and safety equipment used in
conjunction with the compressor
must be capable of treating air
to all applicable local and federal
codes prior to human consumption.
Work in an area with good
ventilation. Read and follow the
safety instructions provided on the
label or safety data sheets for the
materials you are spraying. Always
use certified safety equipment:
OSHA/MSHA/NIOSH respiratory
protection designed for use with
your specific application.
