My older air compressor keeps eating regulators, they'll be fine for a week or two and then go bad. I'm assuming this is from crap in the tank making it into the regulator valve and tearing it up. I was thinking of several aporaches to fix it and wanted to get some input. 1) Put the water filter before the regulator in homes any of that stuff would "drop" into the filter before getting to the regulator. 2) Doing #1 and also taking the compressor apart and lining the tank with por-15, rustoleum or something like that. There are plenty of plug to take out to fill and roll the tank around. My thinking it that this will seal any lose particles and also help with future rust. I know the tank is in good shape ad is not ready to rust out.
Any thoughts?

check the inside of the tank for rust. if the tank is real rusty, i'd replace the tank. if it ruptures, you could be in a world of hurt.

Both sound like good ideas. A lot of commercial regulators have a screen in the inlet to stop particles. Adding a filter before both the water sep and the reg would help. Lining the tank would be good also. Does the compressor use oil? Oil in the air can be hard on some types of rubber diaphrams.

it's an older 2 cylinder single stage rig that does use oil in the crankcase. Has about a 30 gallon tank.
