I'm always forgetting the pound weights of the various tank sizes. I use the 7 inch diameter 42" tall mig tanks, (60 pound?) 1500 psi is the typical fill pressure for a fresh tank on my regulator. Me thinks someone grabbed a tank out of the empty pile or passed the buck and someone dropped it. i'd return it first thing so they can't claim you burned through it or had a leak.

given the heat the oil cooler hoses/lines will be seeing, i'd get a flaring tool and put one on the end rather than run straight pipe. definitely not a spot to compromise.
