    Would You Trust a 40yr Old Tank After Hydrotest?

    compressor oil

    Thank you all for the responses. Run Mobile 1 in all my gas engines. What weight would you guys recommend? Compressor is in an unheated garage. Temperature today is 11 degrees. Tag on tank says made in 1947! Air is always "made". Have three 80 gallon tanks.

    Home made generator parallel cables

    Actually, I wired two 20 amp single pole switches in the waterproof box. So no "suicide cord". Thanks all for the help. And encouragement.

    Home made generator parallel cables

    Update: Made up the parallel cables. Plugged in the gensets. Synced and worked perfectly. Saved $100. The starting procedure is important, but the same as the factory cables.

    Home made generator parallel cables

    Generac Q2000, parallel ready. Gensets don't care where they are.

    Trying to decide if I want this tank

    Clean and dry tank. Dump a gallon of Flex Seal inside. Add a little pressure for a minute or two. Bleed off air and let Flex Seal set up.
