I am kinda surprised that there is no mandatory inspection for the tanks and PSV. The tank is a pressure vessel which in industry requires inspection at certain intervals.

You get your compressor inspected at your house? I'm not saying it not wise but who the frack does that? good vid... that's violent

I was going to plug in the father in law 30-40 YO compressor to check it out. I think i'll change the tank now before I do that. Thx Vince!

Not saying that it needs to be done. Kinda like propane tanks, they need to be recertifed. The tank is a pressure vessel which is subject to failures, surprised that ABSA hasn't got involved.

Take the "safety" labels off everything and let natural selection work as intended.
