Do a simple hydraulic test on it first. Disconnect pipework, fill with water, if no obvious leaks connect an air line via a regulator, slowly bring the small air gap in the tank up to working pressure (from afar) and close the tap - leave for a while and if no apparent leaks bring up to 150% of working pressure and leave for a few hours. If no leaks it should be safe to use.
(The idea of the water fill is that any burst will only have a very small volume of compressed air to release before the pressure drops dramatically as the water is not able to be compressed.)
Worth using a car foot pump, rather than another compressor.
