	Don't usse plastic.  If it fails, the compressor will run
	perpetually if you have no ball cock to shut flow from the
	tank to the lines.  Running nonstop for several hours, the
	compressor will eat itself alive; time for a new one.

	Make sure you have a ball cock between the ballast (the tank)
	and the lines to the world.

	IF you  run plastic, be careful to open the ball cock SLOWLY
	so you do not blow out the lines.  It can happen fairly easily,
	especially when it is cold and th plastic embrittles a bit.b

	you can't get away with your snobbery any longer. Your thoughts on life
are 
	only thoughts coming from one person . Your opinion is only one out of
the
