John Dirks Jr Posted September 13, 2018 Report Posted September 13, 2018 I have this compressor with a powerful electric motor and a compressor pump that works great. It's fixed on top of a small tank that has a few tiny pin holes in the bottom. Is there a thicker type of compound I can coat the bottom of the tank to seal the pin holes? Im sure if I seal each leak individually, more will just pop up. Thats why I like to try and coat the entire bottom with something. Transferring the motor and pump to another tank is possible but it looks like more work than I care for on this thing.
Chad Fabry Posted September 13, 2018 Report Posted September 13, 2018 John, The explosive force of at least 125 PSI paired with a structurally compromised vessel that has a lot of square inches of surface area adds up to an undesirable outcome. I was filling a split rim truck tire assembly in 2001- the split rim broke at 65 PSI. The force of the resulting explosion ruined the tire cage and rocketed two, foot-long pieces of the ring through a twelve inch block wall. I am convinced that had I been filling the assembly sans cage I and a few employees would have been killed.
