So what chance do I have of saving this tank?


I guess I don't understand what's to save.
Does it still compress air?
You drained out the water.
Put a filter on the output and use it.

I think we'd all be surprised by how much water and rust are on the
inside of the tanks we use every day. :-)


Well, this tank hadn't been used for years the owner said. I let the
water out of my tank weekly, how long do you let it sit there.
I figure that years of sitting means deep rust inside. Based on the
stink of that water, I'd have to say it's been in there a long time.
