: just saw the thing about not using oil on your tanks. I was wondering if it is safe to spray the threads with silicone and allow it to dry

Yes. The danger is oil in the tank with air being compressed to 3000/4500psi. As Warpig said, think how a diesel engine works. A diesel has a compression of 20/30 to 1 (which ignites the fuel), while a 3k tank is 200 to 1 and 4.5k 300 to 1.
