Re: A tube burst-What happened?
Same thing happened to a team at Midwest last year. The team had been checking for a problem leak and couldn't find it. They had the compressor running continuous for about 15-20 minutes. When the tubing let go it was like a firecracker.
I have to ask, it looks like your compressor is discolored. Is it covered in something? Did it get contaminated?
