I have heard of so called explosions as well but I think its just air pressure do to a shotty weld when people cut holes and weld on their own fittings, same with old freeon tanks have seen that to. I think if you dont modify the tank any you can use it as a air tank all day long and not worry. The shotty modified ones I have seen on many a farm scare me a bit though.
