terioration indicates possible tank weakening and could result in
explosive bursting under pressure. If any of these signs are found,
discard tank immediately and replace. Do not attempt to patch leaks,
etc., as this could result in serious injury. Follow filling, pressurizing
and spraying instructions EXCEPT: Use water only. Pump plunger only
