published Release # 02-108 concerning air compressor tank safety:
Air compressor receiver tanks do not have an infinite life. Tank life is dependent
upon several factors, some of which include operating conditions, ambient con-
ditions, proper installations, field modifications, and the level of maintenance.
The exact effect of these factors on air receiver life is difficult to predict.
If proper maintenance procedures are not followed, internal corrosion to the
inner wall of the air receiver tank can cause the air tank to unexpectedly rupture
allowingpressurizedairtosuddenlyandforcefullyescape,posingriskofinjury
to consumers.
Your compressor air tank must be removed from service by the end of the year
shown on your tank warning label.
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank, and result in
a violent air tank explosion:

This air compressor pump is capable
of running continuously. However, to
prolong the life of your air compressor,
it is recommended that a 50%-75%
average duty cycle be maintained; that
is, the air compressor pump should
not run more than 30-45 minutes in
any given hour.
