Do you Drain your Air Compressor after each use?

[daddy]

I don't know if you are supposed to, but I don't, ever, unless I am moving it. (moving it long distances, not around the garage.)

I didn't realize this was talking about draining the moisture out, I thought the question was about draining the air.

Reread the OP. He said air.

Yes, but the purpose of draining is to remove moisture... hence the progression in the thread that lost you.

Umm, that was not his question and I was the first one to respond, you know?

If you leave the air in it, it should be lighter and easier to move.

Yeah but I'm sure you emptied yours so it would weigh less.

Well, that is true, but no.

Ok boys, this is in the Let's talk trucks section, let's keep it on topic.





Wow, I could hardly type that without laughing.

I probably drain out the water about every 5 times I use it...

Probably not quite regulation but better than not ever doing it.

Maybe what they really want you to do is if you have one of those check valves that collects water. You should drain the water after every use.

It might be leaning towards draining as removing all water so that it does not reside in your tank for long periods of time.
