North End I-15		Uncle built a air tank 14" diameter and 6' long . Had concave dished ends .

Pressure tested tank by filling with water then used grease gun to pump up pressure to 300 lbs.

Got to 300 and decided to give it a little more ..... Both ends popped from concave to convex ,

Never leaked a drop !

Wish I was home could post a picture .
