I suspect you've mis-plumbed something or have a leak somewhere, causing the compressor to be on much longer then expected.

The high pressure side gets to 65 psi.

The compressor is on a minute or so, and gets to 65 psi, stays there, and half a min later or so blows the line.

~120 in^3 of air stored on te high side. No tanks after the main regulator.
