I have a 30 gallon Dayton tank, about 25 years old. It developed a crack right next to where a leg is welded on. The tank had the failure early in it's life at about 5 years old. It's been sitting ever since. Grainger wants $600 now, I think I paid $200. It has a 5hp Kellog American 2-stage pump that has very few hours on it after a re-deux. At one time it was hooked up to the system as a 3rd tier back-up and the tank was bypassed. It only ran during a monthly test.
I'm thinking of adding it as an air supply on the far side of the shop, about 150' as we are making additional work cells there.
Can I repair it and get it certified or should I Send it out to be repaired? I've seen exploded tanks and I hope to avoid that.
