I've heard stories of compressor tanks taking a dump @ 150psi before. Apparently one story included that the explosion took out a cinder block wall with ease. Since hearing that story, Every time I walk away from the compressor, I drain the air through the pet-***** on the bottom. I don't want to be mangled by a rusty *** piece of shrapnel...

I like it when my tools spray out ice cool water. Feels good. Naw but I've been meaning to pick up a seperator though. My wife paid alot(in our sence of alot) for my compressor and don't really want to wreck it too fast.

I drain mine everytime I use it or if I'm using it alot then a couple days, its just a habit. Though I always forget to oil my tools. :P

I've got a moisture filter on mine and when I'm done I open the drain valve all the way and leave it open untill I use it again.

I worked at a manufacturing plant were I'd be filling up 5gal buckets when I opend up the drain.

At home we empty the tank about every 6 months or so. We also have this thing, it helps more then anything we get zero water out of the lines.
