That's particularly true if a partial tank of "deathanol" added gasoline was allowed to sit and evaporate after the final run of the engine. That white powdery residue has spelled the demise of a lot of carburetors. I've got a very nice belt-driven compressor on a tank with a hole rusted into it. It's about to get adapted to a retired 100-lb. LP gas cylinder that's out of date on inspection, and the gas vendors refuse to fill. Those tanks are far heavier and stronger than the ones used for compressed air. I'll have to do a little creative plumbing to create a way to drain condensation, but that's not a big deal.
