So now I have a new issue at hand, I've become absolutely paranoid about air compressor tanks. The one I purchased, although its in much better condition, it is still an old tank. Ive cleaned it all out and thoroughly inspected, and have found that the bottom of the tank is missing some chunks...

Essentially, the tank is made of 3 pieces, a top, bottom, and outer shell and these form 3 seams. All those seams are okay, and the feet are attached with weld to the bottom cap. The way it cracked, looks like the foot got smashed putting severe strain on the bottom cap causing it to crack. So...

This is what I was hoping to hear, and yes that was one of the drawbacks unfortunately, 80 gallon was 200MAWP, 60 is 150. Was going to set the pressure for 160 on the 80, I'll turn it down to somewhere around 140.

That is definitely an option, of course that would require complete disassembly, which would set me back time wise on getting this thing running. Also having a tank welded makes me a little nervous, but if its done properly there shouldnt be anything to worry about.

This is when I first got the 80 all set up And this is where I intend on keeping the 60 for now, and basically just using the 80 gallon tank as a compressor mount, until I can afford a new 80 with top mounting.

Oops, I did leave out that very important part, the tank I picked up is a 60 gallon. Since I'm downsizing the tank I'm sure I will still have the same output that the 80 would have as far as overall air use. My main concern is will it damage the motor and pump going to the smaller tank since it...

So I'm looking for some opinions on a compressor that I'm trying to set up in my garage to do general automotive work, but most importantly will be running a DA sand quite alot to finish some bodywork. It's a rather pieced together setup from what my father was able to grab from a division of...
