Yeah and it ain't nice clear water either. It's rusty water that seems to stick to your skin.
Just as well throw your stained stuff away it isn’t ever going to get really cleaned......and it has a stank to it that’s tough to get rid of

I checked both compressors today. I could not believe how much water came out. I vote that you post this once a month to remind us.
How many guys went and drained their compressors after reading this?
Surely a world traveler like yourself carries a tire gauge in the door pocket.
Oh yeah! I forgot y'all are working folks again! I hope y'all are enjoying it!In fact, I do. I also have a Porter-Cable air compressor. Sadly, the air compressor is in my RV, not here in Indiana with us. I even have one of those 12-volt air compressors, but I don't remember whether it would air up a tire to 80 psi as two of the van's tires require.
And, the company requires us drive teams to have a tire tester. It's just the compressor that I don't have. I worded my original comment wrong. I should have said I needed a compressor to fill the tires, not a tester to test them.
So - the first few pictures looks like metal fatigue failure - as it looks like beach-marks are present. (fatigue striations, beach marks.)
If so, this failure has been slowing growing for years. (each pressurization is 1 more beach mark)
Can you post a close-up picture of the failure point?
