If you put a 120lbs of pressure in it, you'll need a new tank if you don't die wet !

Wow, I didn't catch the pressure value, just rolled right over it without it registering Must be gettin' old! Yeah, If you can plug all of the holes and put a non-vented cap on it just set it out in the sun for an hour or so and if it gives you a "Woosh" when you remove the cap it's sound. That tank won't take more than about ten pounds of pressure without starting to bulge.
