Not pressurizing

[Matt]

My C2001-WK PC compressor is supposed to shut off at 150 psi, but it never gets there. It takes about 5 minutes to get to 130 psi, blowing hot air our of the back of the housing the whole time. I partially opened the clamshell cover, and did not see any loose hoses, and it holds air in the tank without leaking. Any suggestions?

Try looking at the Tube seal part # 104 mine has blown 2 times. They don't seem to take the heat of the pump running for long periods and deteriorate then blow out causing an air leak as you describe. In fact I am ordering 1 right now because mine blew again.
