I had been draining the tank every time I had used the compressor. However, the drain bung sets into the tank about 3/8-inch. So, even when the drain bung is full open, there will remain 3/8-inch of water in the tank. Water in a steel tank means rust. Just a matter of time before it rusts through. Today was the day. Only took 35 years. When you are running paint guns, air drills, blow guns, pumping up tires, etc., you got to have an air compressor that is up to the task. So, no more spray painting until I can get another air compressor.
