Not per <R02> the rule you are refering to. There is no defined source for the pressureized air.
Also for those of you who think I'm approaching this from a lawyering side that is far from what I'm doing. I'm looking at this as engineer who frequently designs pressurized systems to "ASME/ANSI B31.1 Power Piping Code" and "B31.3 Process Piping Code" and has to make sure other requirements for the ASME/ANSI Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code" (B&PVC). In said codes a pressure relief valve or rupture disc would be required on the storage tank to prevent over pressurization as a safety device. I was looking through the rules on this as we debated on the compressor and noticed what I see as a total miss by FIRST in not requiring a pressure relief device. I can think of many reasons and ways the 120psi could be unintentionally violated without having a safety relief and I think it should be rectified.
