This is an observation i had when using my small shop air compressor. i don't have a water seperator on it and I used it the other day and got water out of it. This is not good when airing your tires or pressurizing cylinders. So before using your handy little compressor make sure you open her up and check for water.

That is something most people don't check. They just think the cylinder has air and no moisture in it. Great Tip.

I hadn't thought about it before, but you can rest assured I'll check in the future.

My garage compressor has a pepcock on the bottom and I open it up; turn on the compressor for just a bit and it blows it right out!
