Britney's gas tank looks a bit like that now. I was using the compressor to blow out the remaining water before paint. The air chuck kinda got stuck and my life passed before my eyes for a hot second until I wrangled it free. In other news, I'm impressed that my weld joints on 14 gauge can take somewhere around 140 psi. 😳

140?! Death! As a man who regularly puts compressed air in steel and heats it- anything over about 70 scares me to poop my pants.
 
UNSTUCK

UNSTUCK

But stuck more often.
Reminds me of a story. A year or so ago my wife called me and asked me to get out our pressure canner. She has never used it and it was sitting for 10-12 years in our storage room. It was my grandma's, then my moms, and now my wife has it. It's old. I blew off all the dust and noticed the seal on the lid was pretty ugly. I put a little water in and put it on the stove to test it. Sure enough water bubbles started forming all around the lid indicating several leaks. I thought I'd let it get a bit hotter and see what happens. I left the kitchen for a couple minutes then came back to check on it. It had sealed up tight and the pressure gauge on the lid was pegged WAY past "Caution". I didn't know if I should run or what. I very carefully walked the rest of the way up to the stove, reached over and turned it off. There was no way I was touching the cooker. I just let it cool down right where it was at. When my wife got home I simply said, it works. No issues.
