I have a 30 gallon horizontal tank oil less compressor. I usually only use it about once a week and I would drain it after each use, but I think I'm going to start using it daily. Probably only about 2-3 hours after work. The question is should I drain it after each use, or would it be okay to just drain it weekly? It seems like it would be a lot of wear to fill it and drain it every day.
Because I like it that way.

To the guys that drain after every use .... you realize that it takes many hours for the hot compressed air to cool and then water separates from the air There you go again interjecting pertinent facts into these threads. LOL. Carry on.
