Default Good/Bad Idea

Should I, or it even smart to hook a volume tank to a compressor that
already has one? I have a two horse Husky, brand new. I have the old
volume tank off the deceased Sears oil less screamer.

Is this helpful in any way, or does it just make the compressor run twice as
long filling up two tanks?

I have done exactly this, and it does beat up the compressor if you are
using a lot of air. If you use large volumes sporadically, I don't see a
problem. If you leave it on all the time and have sloppy air fittings,
it will be dead in a year.
