Re: [T3] air compressors

<x-flowed>They're assumption is that you would be using it every day.

When done using it, turn off and release all air inside except the last 
20psi, then open petcock valve to let drain.  The pressurized air inside 
will blow out the petcock and force the water out as well.  This is what 
I have to do w/my Craftsman air compressor (60-gallon).
