So I'm laying in bed about to go to sleep, and all of the sudden, after the tank has been charged for nearly 2 months, my paintball tank blew its burst disk! Scared the living crap out of me, but I thank the good Lord it wasn't my scuba tanks, else it'd be going for a good while still. That's my official first burst burst-disk incident. All well, no one's hurt, and I needed to do laundry anyways!
 
Several years ago I had my HP130 blow a disk at about 2-3am one morning....I keep my tanks parked in our entry way foyer as I use them alot and my wife is very understanding :). This tank had the disk facing the wall....as it burst and began blowing gas it flipped over from the jet stream of gas hitting the wall....took a few years of each of us that early morning. :11:
 
Yep, that'll wake you up for sure.
