Re: Transparent Air Tank

You're not going to find many of these, sadly. There aren't many clear plastics that play nice with high pressure. You can MAKE one of transparent ABS, but that has a nasty habit of exploding under too much pressure.

Which competition is this? Would a glass or plastic porthole into the tank be acceptable? A sight glass is a very easy way to add visibility to a process. They're designed to add a visible port to watch oil levels in systems where that's required.
