Cowman, That is good advice often you get busy and forget about important things. I don't think you were looking for alot of responses to your tip but I can't resist telling this story. Several years ago across the street from my mother-in-laws house my wives uncle started his air compressor on a cold morning and went back into the house letting it run. I believe the release valve froze causeing the compressor to burst. A large section of the tank went threw the garage roof flew threw the air across the steet and landed on the roof of my mother-in-laws garage. Fortunately there were no injuries. Air compressors are handy tools but can be dangerous bombs if not treated carefully. Thanks for the reminder Cowman.
