Borrow your neighbors? 

Think you covered it pretty well in with your other posts in this forum. Good job!

Thanks for the reply Grand. But I want to use my Air compressor for all of my works rather than borrowing it from neighbors. LOL

He said "borrow"...he didn't say "return".

Not sure what the other threads were, but one thing is to drain the tank.  I got that hint from one of the techs at Campbell Hausfield here in town.  (So is Senco).

 

I remember one of the managers at a customer's warehouse.used to dust off all their upholstered furniture as part of pre-delivery prep.   I asked him once how often he drain its tank.   "Drain the tank???" was his response.   I took it over to the garbage can and emptied at least a gallon of rusty water out of the 2 gal tank.    I could just imagine the day when he sprayed rusty water over a white sofa.

Drain the water  from it. regularly. Change the oil in it regularly.  I've had a crapsman 5 HP compressor since Oh Gee 1985 and it's still running strong.  I keep telling myself I want a quincy but the one I have  won't die.
