washers that you wash clothes with
My suspicion is that if you are using metal screw-down type clamps, they are not clamping down to a small enough diameter around the barbed connection to make a complete seal. Try using plastic zip ties instead. Second point Do you really NEED 130 PSI in the storage tank? I don't know what you are using this air pressure for, but most automotive applications use a lot less pressure, and maintaining a lower pressure in your system could resolve some of your leaking problems.
A household Warning System includes smoke detectors (or ionization detectors) that activate an alarm. They can be single station or multiple station systems. Ok, in the USA there are codes like the Uniform Building Code and the Life Safety Code (NFPA) and the Uniform Fire Code that are usually adopted by the jurisdiction that issues building permits. That is; local State and county Codes require A household warning system when the building is built. After that it is up to you to maintain them if you want to. Land lords are usually required to supply working fire alarms to tenants, and public buildings are inspected by the fire dept and require alarms. They should worry about their liability if they don't supply them, law or no law. Having said that, hundreds of lives are saved every year by working fire alarms and you are silly if you don't have them in your home.
A Three-alarm fire means that three different fire companies come to fight the fire. Three communities, near each other send a truck to help out. A FIVE alarm fire would be a very big industrial fire, out of controland so forth.
