Hi Andy, The key to it's success is the pivoting reducing axle so both belts are tensioned in one maneuver! Have you spotted the other video uploaded today?
Old air compressors are like ticking time bombs - you never know when they will go off. It's not a good idea to have a bomb near you... that's why you never repair an airframe older than 10 years. safety first
The heavy pitting at the bottom made the decision for me. I've since bought a new tank and had it galvanised. I'd guess the metal fatigue on an airframe is the biggest risk.
Hi, thanks for your words of wisdom. Those heavy pitted areas put me off. I've since bought a new tank. From what I understand they usually leak from rust rather than explode like the videos show.
delightful contraption, cheers

Is that gravels?
Yep, sold as 10mm pea gravel in the UK.
Please do not use this tank! This tank is not safe to put back into service. Watch some videos on here of tank explosions.
