I wanted to post this because I feel it could be safety issue you need to be aware of. Last winter I decided to spend the big bucks and buy a "quality" snowblower. Living in an area where we average 120+" annually, it was necessary because I got tired of having to constantly fix something on my 10 hp MTD snowblower. After using the new one a half of dozen times last year, it was put away until December this year. It performs great, starts immediately, and throws snow like crazy. I went out this morning and started to clear the 8" of overnight snow. I got about 1/2 way through the driveway and smelled gas. I shut it down and saw gas pouring from under the gas tank. I figured no big deal, a hose split. When I pulled the cover to look, the gas shut off valve itself was leaking. The retainer for the handle to turn it on/off is held on with two small rivets. One of them failed and drained the entire tank of fuel. There was no way to stop the flow. This could easily have caused a fire. My wife called the dealer we bought it from, and he said there is a three year warranty on it. I had to put it back together and am now waiting for him to pick it up, repair it, and bring it back. The only way it's covered is if they do it that way. Thankfully I still have the old MTD. The machine is an Ariens Platinum SHO 28. I could repair it myself for about $20 but I don't want to void the warranty. When searching for a replacement part, most have screws holding the valve together. Why would they use cheap,crappy rivets?

I have a portable 5-gallon air tank with a 125 PSI maximum pressure (one similar to the first picture shown below) and am just wondering whether a particular air compressor with a 150 PSI maximum pressure (shown in the second picture below) should be able to fill my 5-gallon air tank to its maximum pressure without a problem.
