Yeah, I installed this on my 25 gallon cheapie compressor. It worked
for about a week, then one day the outlet got stuck, maybe something
stuck in it. I was futzing with it when it just crumbled. You get what
you pay for at HF.
I just wired up the tank with a 4' hose coming from the bottom with a
standard air gun on the end and I just air it it out whenever I am
over on that area of the shop. In the summer here in california I
never see any mist but get a good spray during cold weather.

b. Leaving pressure on the tank is OK, leaving condensation in the tank is
not. I mounted a galvanized pipe and elboe and ball valve on mine and I
keep the ball valve cracked open just enough to keep the water out. The
compressor runs 1~2 times a day when not in use.

I have no leakage as long as I don't leave tools on the lines.
I have the short line from the bottom and also a tee at the regular
outlet. I run one hose up through the rafters to the fron of my garage
shop to use on my pocket holer, filling tires and working up front.
The other line runs overhead and drops between my cutoff and work
table. If I leave a nail gun on the line it will bleed but if I drop
it of, the system stays tight forever.
I do turn it off however. I had a blow out once with a bad attach to a
hose and found the compressor running when I cam home, so just a habit
but it is always full tanked when I flip her on.

Year ago I moved the bottom drain plug to the end of a 3' length of air
hose on my small vertical, where it is much more accessible.
The air hose holds quite a bit of water that would otherwise be in the
tank, and, unlike the tank, is rustproof ... and gravity does the work.
It is a simple matter to open the cock slightly every other day or so
and let the water in the hose squirt out, and draining the tank this way
doesn't even cause the compressor to cycle on.

Ever try breathing under water? Certainly water contains oxygen, the
question I have is does metal rust faster under water with small amounts
of oxygen or under damp conditions, with lots of oxygen available?
I have no clue what the inside of my tank looks like. If it ever fails,
maybe tomorrow, maybe in another 30 years, perhaps I'll cut the sucker
in half and see where it rusted.

a) Yes but it will not be waterproof. You be better off using epoxy.
b) Why is leaving it pressurized not good for the tank or fittings?
I've always left mine pressurized and still have no problems after
25+ years. The rubber hoses are no worse for the constant pressure
either.

Now there is an idea waiting to happen... I almost never drain my
compressor, and have had it for around 30 years. If I'd have thought of
this idea, I may have hooked up an air gun to the thing... Every time
this subject comes up, I eagerly wait for my tank to explode in a pile
of rust... then I forget about it for another year or 5:-)
You should send this one in for a tip of the day magazine thing-ee, and
maybe get a free tool of some sort. This is one of those smack your
head ideas...
I have several air guns I never use for anything, one has just a button
you press... I could hook that directly with no hose and just tap the
button with my foot... hmmmm...

I like the idea of having an air gun on the hose so you just squeeze for
a sec as you walk by.
I know I've discussed this here before, but, getting old, I don't
remember how it ended up. Your point on draining the water out of the
tank, into a rustproof hose reminded me of something I've thought of,
considering I never, or almost never bother to drain my tank.
I wonder if having the bottom of a metal tank void of water at any
depth, just being damp, or just wet all the time is all that good? My
thought is metal rusts faster being wet with lots of oxygen getting to
it vs being submerged, underwater with little oxygen getting at it. I
know everyone everywhere says drain your tank routinely, but after 30
years of mostly ignoring this advice, I wonder why it's made no
discernible difference to my tank?

Personally, I'm less concerned with standing water rusting out the bottom of my
tank than I am with it accumulating to the point where it makes it past my
water filter and into the main lines, possibly ruining the spray job I'm right
in the middle of. This *rarely* (if ever) happens to me here in Austin (where
the humidity isn't usually very high), and I have a very good filter (an old
Motor Guard M-30, like this one: http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/jlmm30.html),
but I think Sonoma's idea is a good one nonetheless, and I would be *much* more
inclined to keep the tank drained if I didn't have to climb underneath it with
a little bucket to catch the water, tearing up my fingers on that stubborn
cutoff valve in the process...

It's never happened to me and I live in Pgh where humidity is pretty
high, although not rain forest high. I have a cheap filter
(http://jbstein.com/Flick/AirFilter.jpg) that supposedly filters oil and
water, and I've never had to drain my filter, and I've painted tons of
stuff, including cars over the years and never had a problem with water
or oil. I think the water in the bottom of tank never gets in the air
flow, else I'd have noticed long, long ago.

Yeah, a great idea. I long ago put a copper extension on the drain,
with a petcock that is used so infrequently I need pliers to get it to
turn. Worse, I have to move a ton of junk piled in front of it to even
see it.
I'm still wondering if a damp tank rusts faster than one submerged in water.

The system will be down for 10 days for preventive maintenance.

I don't live near the ocean, but on the rivers where I live, steel coal
barges don't rust as much under water than along the water line where
lots of oxygen is present.

Ever try breathing under water? Certainly water contains oxygen, the
question I have is does metal rust faster under water with small amounts
of oxygen or under damp conditions, with lots of oxygen available?
I have no clue what the inside of my tank looks like. If it ever fails,
maybe tomorrow, maybe in another 30 years, perhaps I'll cut the sucker
in half and see where it rusted.

The water heater in the house I grew up in lasted close to 100 years.
It was an indirect heating system where the burner and the coils were
separate from the storage tank. The tank did nothing but store hot
water. I'd bet that tank was not glass lined like a modern hot water
heater, but I really don't know. I haven't gotten more than 10 years out
of a water heater, but like my compressor, I just use it, no maintenance
whatsoever.

Oh, really??? What, then, pray tell is oxidation???
Rust is Fe203, primarily an oxidation product of Fe and O2.

Which is, in fact, the case w/ virtually all water in contact w/ air as
the solubility of O2 is reasonably high...

Where does the air entrained in hot water come from you think???

Mostly because they have controls to prevent the introduction of
additional air and maintenance practices to remove what is in them...

Of course it contains oxygen. But, it contains less oxygen than pure
air, so my question remains: does a steel tank rust faster under a
puddle of water or where it has constantly damp surface?
After 30 to 60 years, or whenever my tank fails, and I cut the sucker in
half, will the rust be at the bottom of the tank which has been
constantly underwater or along the sides, where they just remain a
little damp with lots of oxygen?
On a side note, those in the rec that call everyone they disagree with a

ignoring the real troll.

This is a cool idea but remember that the pressure if "FULL", keep some kind
of valve on it if you don't want a lot of air and water to come out at one
time.
Again. Pure water does NOT contain any oxygen molecules. Looks like some
chemistry examples demonstrated that rust is not atomic chemistry.
I guess you have your question answered then, short of a lot of noise to
disprove facts posted by real participators...LOL
The tank will rust just above the water line and the rust will fall to the
bottom of the liquid.
Side Note: Good advice excpet "a troll" is in the mind of the namer,
apparently.

So sorry Jack I get really confused when the haze just
slips over my low brow. A lack of water you know.
Mybad!
I meant to say I had some water during my break and found
yes it has no oxygen but it has terrific amounts of salts
which complement my acid personality so well I just had to
leap to the computer to tell you!
Now now can I join your group Jack can can I huh please please!

Many do not know the difference between atomic and molecular chemistry.
Pure water contains no oxygen molecules.

Which is not a scretch. Humid air going through the compression process
will condense and form water as it cools and will have oxygen molecules in
it. Just the thing needed to rust a tank.
