I recently got an air compressor from a friend. It
is a 7.5 hp 2 stage and it works good except the
tank is rusted and leaks. I've seen the pics of
what happens when an air tank blows and want
nothing to do with that. Been looking for a used
one but haven't been able to find one that isn't
already 10+ years old and I don't want to buy one
that may already be near rusted through. Getting a
new one is outside my budget right now. I saw in
Fleet Farm the other day that I can get a new 100
lb. propane tank for a little over $100.00. I
could get 2 of those for less than a new air tank.
Anyone know what kind of pressure they would hold?
I need about 150 lbs. Draining the water would be
a problem so I would make a stand to hold them
upside down and plumb them so they can be drained.
Or if anyone knows of an air tank in Mn. or
western Wi. that would be good too.
