I drain my tank after every use and the drain valve is left open. I also lift the other end so it is higher than the drain during the initial drain down.

Not compressor related but still tool related.
I was sent these photos by the company that installed and services our air-conditioning system.
The photos are of the interior of the service manager's ute after the battery from his cordless tools exploded inside the cab. Fortunately, he was not in the car at the time. The inside was sprayed with copper particles. Had he been in the cab, it's likely he would have had copper embedded in his eyes and who knows what else would have happened.
The company has now told staff that batteries may not be carried inside the cab, they must be in the ute tray.

I wonder if the battery's terminals shorted on something in the toolbox/tool bag?
I'll ask tomorrow if the battery was on the tool or separate. It wasn't on charge.
Don't leave lithium batteries where your dog can chew on them:Quote:

I like how the dogs come back to watch the fire, they probably thought it was a BBQ.Quote:
