Re: Compressor gets hot and blows line

you might want to have fewer things cantilevered off of the compressor exit port. The material on the compressor is cast, and can crack at the seam of the casting. It looks like you have several heavy components attached.

We usually just have the fitting out of the compressor, the relief valve, and then a tube connector and everything else is mounted to a mounting board.
