air compressors

[Charles E Faulk]

Terry,

As with many compressors, the instructions say to "drain the tank after
every use". All the ones I know of have a drain valve at the bottom of
the tank that enable you to "blow out" excessive moisture. I take those
instructions very seriously especially before I bore a pinblock and need
air pressure to cool my drill bit, or do any finish repair.
