I do drain it most times @spooler but there are some days I'll just leave it pressurized ( 175 psi ) 'cause I know that later on in the day I'll need it again to fill bike tires or what not. Now I'm thinking I don't want to leave it pressurized anytime it's unattended. I have my rec room where my family watches TV right behind that wall ! Ugh... darn it Rusty for putting this in my head...jk.

My electric one is smaller, 30gal. 6hp Craftsman oil-less compressor.
I seldom use it & leave my drain valve partial open; so it doesn’t collect any water & bleeds off after use.

If I’m doing something that repeatedly needs air consumption, I’ll close petcock & then open back up slightly after use

On my IR gas compressor; I have a pull chain drain on each tank ..... like a big-rig

Surely I must have some rust inside my (60) gallon tank. 175 psi. It’s 25 years old...no visible rust anywhere on the outside nor is any paint chipping on the vessel.

It is normal to have water coming out when drained. What he was saying was to make sure you drain it.

My compressor was my dad's. He bought around 1980. I just replaced the compressor on the tank last year. It ate the reed valves in the head, and beat the chit out of the top of the pistons. After every us. I drain the water out of it. Sometimes I get a teaspoon. Other times I get a quart. It depends on the humidity in the air that day. I also have my tank bolted down to the floor.

This is what happens when you don't drain the water out

Almost time for bed.

Sup peeps. Time for another lovely week where the temp has started a -1f and the high will be possibly 11.

Happy Monday! Time to start the work week. I have to instruct at new employees orientation today. Always fun meeting the new recruits. It is spitting snow and my body is letting me know it is not in favor of it at all. My left knee is the size of large grapefruit and I have tension in my left deltoid that I can't work out. Oh well, the joys of living a long time. Hoping you all have a great day and stay safe and sanitary.

Morning slutZ. Got 5-8 inches of snow coming later today.
