Kick down malfunctioned so machine just ran over the weekend until the pressure in the tank found a weak rusty spot and burst. Thing jumped up, threw pieces and rolled down the wall leaving orange strips every 3 or so feet as it rolled on the wall. Found wheels at other end of warehouse. It was an old 5 gallon compressor. Compressors only get plugged in while in use ever since.Were you able to determine the cause? How old was it? Was it used constantly? Were there any signs of any issues before a catastrophic failure? Was there a filter on the intake? Thanks.
