What happens here

Following the immediate and obvious leak from the pressure test, the creator concludes that the tank is "toasted" and completely unsuitable for any high-pressure application. He states that, due to this critical failure, he will abandon the plan of building a DIY sandblaster from this tank and will instead purchase a new sandblaster.

Goal: Determine the final usability of the tank based on the pressure test results.

Tools and materials

  • 30-gallon air compressor tank — The failed vessel

What they say

I filled it up with water to do a pressure test and I'll just show you guys. Not sap. This tank is toasted. I'm going to head over to Harbor Freight and pick up a sand blaster so I can get this truck done. Y'all stay tuned.
