I have recently purchased a 2003 model Rol-Air 4090HK17 air compressor (Honda GX160 5.5 hp gas engine). I discovered today that it has a pinhole leak in the tank, from lack of maintenance I suspect. Does anyone have any ideas on how to repair the leak or better yet know where I could find a used tank in decent shape? Thanks!

Junk the tank, not worth it to repair, as it is likely ready to rust through in other areas. Keep your eyes on CL for another tank. Might try looking at Surpluscenter.com
Consider cutting loose the mounting plate and getting a couple of 10 gallon tanks and clamp/strap them together. Or finding a 20-30 gallon horizontal tank and mounting them on that.
