John and Tyler,
I'm not a physicist, but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last
night. 760 Torr is a one of the measures of standard air pressure. That could
have something to do with it. In the one shot there is a hose running from
under the tank. My guess is that this is supposed to represent what could
happen it you were doing something incorrectly, like maybe unloading the tank
too fast or cleaning it with pressurized steam or something. Heating the air
inside the tank and possibly allowing the heated air to escape through a safety
valve could cause such a result.
