Re: 80 gallon Air Compressor - what do you think?

If it isn't pumping oil, and the tank isn't ready to blow... it was a good deal. Since it has a big plug towards the bottom, you could look in it to see how rusty it is. If in question, you could have a sonic thickness check done. If you know anyone with concrete trucks, they could do it. Some of them have a tester that they use on mixer drums... 5 minute deal. 5 minutes that could save a life- tank explosions can be UGLY.
