Air Tank: The air tank on your Air Compressor is designed and
may be UM coded (for units with air tanks greater than 6 inch
diameter) according to ASME Section VIII, Div. 1 rules. All pressure
vessels should be inspected once every two years. To find your
state pressure vessels inspector, look under the Division of Labor
and Industries in the government section of a phone book or call
