Upside Down Airlift Airtank
 
Guys... I purposely and admittedly mounted my air tank upside down and attached it to the rear deck for aesthetics... the question is, how do I drain it now without removing the whole tank? :bonk::bonk::bonk: Or are there better air tanks available with a 1/4" drain hole on the other side?:iono:

if you flip the car over, the tank will be the right direction

Drill a hole then shove a screw with a rubber washer in it.

put a tube on the drain that extends to within 1mm of the bottom of the tank. limebug and other sell a self venting dryer with a metal housing that installs between the pump and tank. that gets rid of most of the condensate.

Is this the dryer you were referring to? https://www.limebug.com/product/view...to-14-ptc#temp

yes.


but eventually you will still need some method to drain the tank.

Don't worry about it! the tank will self drain the water out once it rusts a hole in the bottom.
