How do you empty the tanks? Just expel all the pressure through the hose? Pull the pop-off valve? Or open the "low point drain" on the bottom of the tank.
While the drain valve does not need to be opened with each use, (it certainly wouldn't hurt), it must be part of regular maintenance routine. Rusted out tank is probably the leading cause of compressor failure.
