The liquid removal port valve was stuck so I couldn't drain it (not frozen at all). I opened the vent valve and the sucker took 1/2 hour to get the pressure down to 0!
After some effort and some assistance from channel locks, I got the liquid valve to open.
Closed the vent and waiting for pressure to build up again.
Makes me nervous to have a damn bomb sitting in my garage popping off at 350psi every few minutes.......it's loud too.
Is this normal? My last 180L rental never popped off. (Of course, it was gone in a few days........was more like an 80 L rental...)

send it back to the supplier and dont pay for it, stress the fact that you requested (ordered) a low presser NL55 22PSI
the high pressure tanks are for gas withdraw only, you are only after the LIquid
the blow off is normal for high pressure tanks, even low pressure tanks will blow off occasionally. no danger here tho
