I think you have got the wrong end of the stick here.

Our SAA insurance covers us for liability in member to member actions
ie giving a bad fill.

What it does not cover is if the compressor filter towers explode, or a hose
bursts, or the final stage of the compressor fractures etc etc, and injures
someone.  Whether these are significant risks worth 250 GBP/year was subject
to a lot of debate in our committee meetings.  We decided it was.

I WOULD BE INTERESTED TO HEAR OTHER OPINIONS ON THE VALIDITY OF OUR DECISION.

Are far as we could see, we could either find insurance based on our own
maintainance schedule, or we could get a firm in to service the compressor
and be covered by their insurance.  We chose the former due to difficulties
in finding such a company for a reasonable price.
