I have an 11 gal portable air tank, think it came from Northern Tools last century, which gets used for the sort of thing such things get used for. Looking at the underside the other day I noticed "

Oh, thanks ! Another thing to worry about... Mine is a Dayton (Grainger). Bought it in 1971 and that seems like just a few years ago. Never considered that it might not be immortal like me ;-) Karl _

There's a standard lifespan for them. It's 10 to 15 years, as I recall. It's not as though they blow up when the date comes around. It's somewhere between CYA and lifespan. -- David Scheidt dmscheidt

Pretty much my thoughts. Just that seeing the instruction aroused a nagging idea that both lifespans might end simultaneously... Nick _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net

Get rid of the Freon bottle. That's what I used for years, then one weekend Sears had a nice 10 gallon red tank on sale for around $20. It was worth it. It holds more air, is easy to use, and even ha

I believe they do have a lifespan, but it's not accurately measured in months. So the manufacturer is mostly CYA, by estimating the shortest possible lifespan. I still use a tank that is over 30 yea

The handiest thing I did with my air tank was to replace the tire chuck on the hose with a female quick connect fitting. So out at the track, back when I used to do that sort of thing, I could plug i
