I-R Air Compressor Tank Sprung Leak

My I-R air compressor receiver tank rusted through some one kept forgeting to drain it. Oh well it's 14 years old. New replacement tank costs more than a new compressor guess I'll buy a new compressor with my Bush tax relief.

If it doesn't fit get a bigger hammer.

    Been there. The old one we had started leaking, checked around for a tank and found out the same thing you did. Bought a new one. A few weeks later found one at a yard sale. I think the guy bought salvage stuff. This one was new, damaged in shipment (dropped and busted the aluminum compressor cylinders). It was a 75-80 gallon tank. He wanted $80 for all of it, still had all the new fittings, etc. I passed on it. Been kicking myself since. We could have hooked up the old compressor to it.

    Thanks for all the advice but I'm looking for an excuse to buy a new bigger one.
