So my drain valve quit working and I kinda forgot about it for awhile. (At least 6 months) Water built up in the tank and when I finally got around to draining it, I had to remove the drain valve all-together. I have a new valve ready to go in, but I'm curious about any best practices for cleaning out the gunk that built up when it wasn't being drained.
I put some clean water in it to wash out the rusty crap that was there. Now I'm debating spraying some WD40 in to dry up the last of the water before putting the new drain valve back in. Am I overthinking this? Am I underthinking this? Is there a better way to clean it out?
This is my basic home compressor for airing up tires and kids toys. I'm not using it for painting or anything like that. Although, I should probably do the same cleaning on my shop compressor also.
