Just to add,
Something to think about. This might be a good reason to consider a standup compressor. I never liked the little roll around units, which is shown in the videos that Frock posted. It seems apparent when those things go there is no telling what direction, as they have much more surface area along the bottom for potential rust and holding water and those videos show the explosion covers a broad area.

The stand up is only the diameter of the tank, not the length that is affected by rust as the water settles in the bottom, and from dad's experience they apparently tend to go straight up like a rocket rather than sideways like the videos of the horizontal style. Dad's destruction is only concentrated in the corner where the compressor was sitting as you can see in my pictures. He had both cars parked in that garage at the time and none of them were affected. He was just 20 feet away, and other than his head ringing, he wasn't hit with anything.

Might be something to think about.
