To the OP - Sorry to learn about your tank failure. Fortunately it was a fairly uneventful failure! I am sure the members here would be interested in seeing how much damage there was inside your tank if you wanted to cut it open or check it with an inspection camera.
A good example of why you need an efficient moisture trap that you constantly monitor and why you might want to inspect the inside of your tank on a regular basis. I plan on checking mine internally once a year. Very easy process, just let the air out, remove the valve assembly and run a USB bore light around inside to check the condition of the aluminum liner. Also a good idea to check inside any used tanks you buy that you aren't going to hydro test, before finalizing the sale and before filling them.
After seeing this, I am glad I didn't buy a $300 Chinese tank off Aliexpress.
Where are the Air Venturi tanks made?
My Mini Wingman manufactured in 2020 is marked "Made in Korea".
