I do drain it most times @spooler but there are some days I'll just leave it pressurized ( 175 psi ) 'cause I know that later on in the day I'll need it again to fill bike tires or what not. Now I'm thinking I don't want to leave it pressurized anytime it's unattended. I have my rec room where my family watches TV right behind that wall ! Ugh... darn it Rusty for putting this in my head...jk.

My electric one is smaller, 30gal. 6hp Craftsman oil-less compressor.
I seldom use it & leave my drain valve partial open; so it doesn’t collect any water & bleeds off after use.
If I’m doing something that repeatedly needs air consumption, I’ll close petcock & then open back up slightly after use
On my IR gas compressor; I have a pull chain drain on each tank ..... like a big-rig
