What do you think caused this line to split

Could be fatigue as copper work hardens.What do you think caused this line to split
Ouch, that's scary, When you do start it, I wouldn't run it up to full pressure, any way you can get hold of a scope and look inside?.......got maybe a gallon of rust.
Even if it turns out to be a boat anchor, I don't believe you lost money...............MikeI paid $350 for it and the vfd along with a relay for the cooler and the 50’ or so of wiring.
I guess at this point, there is not much to say. You already have it, so you can probably tell us more than we can tell you.
I always think when I buy a compressor you are buying 4 basic parts. Tank, Motor, Compressor, and control box.
I am guessing the tank is in poor condition, at best. Then the motor is of no use to you, replace the tank and motor. About the compressor - what is the operating pressure and operating cfm. Does it have good compression?
I think I would pass. But lucky finding a tank. I am not sure solder will hold. It is pretty soft and it is a split, not a crack. But, maybe it will fit your needs and be a value. I hope so. Sounds like you are on the way to making it work.
