Should I drain my air tank for storage or leave air in it? Does it matter? Thanks!

How long will you being storing it for?

I wouldn't worry about keeping air in the tank for a period of a week or two, but over an extended time I would empty the tank. I don't think it will really be an issue either way.

I have always been told to leave the pressure in the tank so no condenstation/water will have a change to get into the tank because the pressure will not let it through.

...or is this rubbish?
