My 25 year old, 30 gallon air compressor developed a rust hole. I ground down to clean metal and used a brazing rod with my torch and produced a what appeared to be proper repair. Not.
Air is seeping out of the repair. Three attempts have produced the same result. I removed all obstructions from the tank so air pressure would not be blowing out my brazing. I have only one remaining option. Grind off my brazing and try my stick welder. Just don't get why the brazing isn't sufficient to plug the hole.
