Should have been relief valves on the tank and the compressor, both with
full capacity of the compressor.

Not listed was the "Air Compressor". My neighbor 
recently had one explode when the high limit 
switch stuck, and the unit continued to fill 
until it finally exploded. The 20 gal. tank was 
flattened, and the pressure gauges were imbedded 
in the back wall (80 ft.) away. Some how the 
wheels of the Oxy tank cart next to the 
compressor were removed without damaging the 
tanks, and there were rust stains from inside the 
tank on the ceiling (24 ft. high). Probably was 
quite a show, fortunately no one was in the shop at the time. Just a
thought.
