Leaving Air Compressor Full

Partially out of laziness, inertia, procrastination, and partially because I
use it several times a month, I leave my Porter Cable air compressor full.
Does this do longterm harm to the machine?
I have a CH 4 gallon twin tank. I never leave it full and usually run
the tool until the tanks are almost empty, then open the drain and allow
the low pressure to blow whatever water is there out. The drain on this
model is not on the very bottom of the lower tank, so I have to tilt the
unit to drain. If I don't have enough air to finish, I turn the unit on
with the drain open.
