I have a perfectly good 220v horizontal air compressor that has a leak in the tank. Read about the fears of patching the tank and what could happen if there is further corrosion. Think the PO did not drain it enough.
What is the best way to replace the tank, without spending an outrageous amount of money for a sears replacement tank. I saw a guy that used a new 100 lb propane tank and made an upright compressor. Any ideas on this? What bungs need to be added to the tank. Can I turn it upside down, and replace the pol valve with a drain, and then weld in a bung for the air input?
Need pics if possible.
