I recently setup my Daystate 4500 PSI (110v) compressor to start filling my CF tank. After the setup and 5 minute break in, I went ahead and got ready to top off my tank. The tank was at about 200 bar. Following all the directions and the videos before trying, I went ahead and started to open the valve on the air tank after closing the moisture/relief valve and starting the compressor. I opened the valve on the tank slowly. After about 5 seconds I hear a loud bang and the compressor relief valve blew out. Of course I don't have a spare as the unit is brand new! I can't figure out what caused the blow out as the tank was at 200 bar - nothing for the compressor to reach. Must I let the compressor build up pressure to what's left in the tank before opening the tank valve so there is no "rush" of pressure that may have blown the safety valve? Directions and videos sure did not imply this. Please let me know if any of you have had this happen to them. Just so you know bad luck is following me, I had to send my Hill EC-3000 back to air venturi for a faulty motherboard or fill pressure sensor, so I'm out both compressors at the same time!
