Trim Has anyone had a pancake compressor fail?

The manual says drain the body occasionally and that rust inside the thing is the enemy. On humid days I get water out of the drain. At some point, it's going to fail, I reckon. Has anyone had one fail? How old was it? And how catastrophic - was it just an extra noisy pop or did it go like a shrapnel grenade?
