Air Venturi 74 CU FT Air Tank issue

Today I received my new Air Venturi 74 CU FT Air Tank I started filling it with a compressor. when is got to about 298 bar it vented a little bit of air as if I had blown a burst disk. What was wierd is after it vented, it went back to filling with no leaks..I know when a burst disk blows thats it it need to be replaced but are thses tanks designed to vent somehow when the pressure get to high? Kinda shocked me so I stopped filling it. It reads on the compressor 268 bar but on the tank it reads 300bar. This is a 4500 psi tank so it should go up to around 310 bar

Make sure that your pressure relief valve is tightened shut. It’s the small, knurled metal circle shaped knob. You may need to grip it tight and twist a little harder with your fingers. Mine leaked once or twice and I thought I’d have to change it. It mysterious remedied itself. I called Air Venturi and they told me about the internal plastic seal within the valve. I think you may need to replace the plastic piece within the valve of it continues to leak. If your burst disc is the issue, it will continue to leak if it’s blown. If the relief valve is not the issue, try putting a little soapy water around the burst disc to see if it bubbles. If it does, find a small socket to snug it down a bit and see if that helps.
