I have both my compressors set up with a motor starter I had been lead this is the way to go to keep the motor form killing itself to the point it was not repairable...
This allows the pressure regulator to be a low amperage switch to work the high amperage relay this takes the hard work off the pressure switch contacts...
On my other for giggles I pulled the pop off its stuck so I need to replace it are take it apart and free it up...
This a pix of the pop off on the first stage I dunno why it there it has one in the tank..
Back in October getting ready for a hurricane I turnd the compressors on let them build up so I would have air if the power went out. I went about my businesses about 15 min later it dawned on me one was still running. It goes from 0 to 175 fast about a min are so when I got to it, it was steaming hot the pressure was at 90 WTF... I turned it off it was leaking air around the head gasket when I went to turn it back on the compressor was locked up....
I just walked away from it knowing the compressor had burnt up a few weeks later for the ell of it turned it on it fired up but would only build up to 90... I pulled the head a reed valve had broke probably got on top of a piston that's what locked it up... Part of a reed had the check valve in the take stuck open... Low bidder got the contract... A new head and a new check valve its back up and running like new other than I think the new check valve has a small leak I cleaned out the old one just have not got around to checking it out...
I still would like to see a pix of yours...
I would not be skeered of your old one on shop talk forums I read some states require the tank to be tested once a year... I think they are tested to 600PSI... I know its at least twice the rated pressure... 275 did not hurt the tank...
