subject says all, I was given an old air compressor minus the compressor

McMaster-Carr sells schraeder valve to NPT fittings for cheap, but don't
I need some kind of pop off valve to make this legit? Also will a
standard radiator petcock suffice as a drain valve or do I need
something more substantial? I guess my lack of finding the pop off
valve on a quick web search (maybe I'm not using the right keywords?) is
keeping me from hacking this together.

Tanks rust with time and should be replaced after several years. A
portable tank does not cost that much, maybe $25.
