[QUOTE="Flyer58, post: 428213, member: 18629"] Yes and they don't make it easy for you to do that. I see there's a remote drain valve on a short hose that's available. I'll look into getting one. Years ago I worked at an airport on the coast in Florida and they had a large old outside compressor. The mechanics noticed water shooting out their tools and decided it was time to drain the tank. The tank was about 5ft tall and the bottom valve was frozen shut so they unscrewed a plug about 4ft up the side and water gushed out. People who had been there 15 years never remember anyone draining the tank. [/QUOTE]
