I have a 2 HP, 20 gallon Craftsman compressor. I drain it about every five
years and never release the pressure at the end of the day.

I have been using it since 1973.

It was getting really hot when shingling so I changed the oil last fall.
Don't know if that helped--maybe I just slowed down a bit. :-)


If you lived anywhere near the coast your compressor would have filled with
water in a couple of years.
