Location: Calgary, Alberta | OK you repair guys, I have a problem I've not encountered before. It's a Clarke 1.5 hp, 1.5gal brad compressor. It's only 6months old but was NEVER drained so now I've got a really nice little portable airbrush compressor but the tank is full of rust & sludge! Is there anything I can spray up into the tank to clean the rust out & at least partially rust proof it? I was thinking half a can of WD40 but I don't want to create more problems by cleaning the tank out with something that will add more oil, etc. to my compressed air? |

| use the drain and let air blow out water. let dry a few days or repeat procedure. hopefully that helps you out. i drain my 60 gallon upright weekly and ue a water filter before my airbrushes. |

Location: Calgary, Alberta | Ya I've already done the whole drain the tank & leave the valve open to air dry thing so maybe that's all I can really do? I do have a moisture seperator/filter to stick on the hose manifold which will then have a dessicant filter in-line before the hose so that will likely give me a supply of dry clean air to work with but I didn't want to deal with cleaning the moisture filter & replacing the dessicant filter continually which may now happen. Oh well, I guess there is a price to be paid for free stuff! |
