Will that tank safely store 150psi?
Surely using a industrial motor/compressor on a hobbiest tank is a bit dodgy.

As standard it run up to 10bar.. I've got the cut out set to just over 8 bar at the moment.

And the pipe on the side will let-rip first!

As long as it cuts off at a safe working pressure it doesn't matter how quick it gets there.

edit: beaten to it
