    That's why horizontal air tanks are inherently unsafe: people neglect to drain them and they rust out. On a vertical tank the moisture collects in a pressing that forms the lower end cap. The end caps are much stronger than the side walls by virtue of their shape and often thickness, and therefore far less likely to rupture. If an end cap does rupture the tank tries to become a rocket rather than potentially turning into shrapnel.

    Much changes, much remains the same.
