clean out air tanks

[M.L. Perkinson]

I have had an 80 for 8 years. Don't have a dryer as I feel you don't either. I
have really had little trouble even though I have had quite a bit of goop from
time to time. I have been afraid I needed gaskets, etc. but have kept on going
without trouble.

When I clean out the wet tank, especially, I unscrew the valve all the way off
and run the engine and the compressor pushes out most of if not all the goop.
All I can say is it has worked for me but am sure it might drive a real
mechanic crazy. Maury 80 fc 31'

I tried to purge the water out of my air tanks today for the first
time. The wet tank put out a thick, slow stream of gooey glop for
about 15 minutes. I would guess a quart or so came out. It flowed slow
so I guess I will need to have a few sessions to get all it out.

So with all that stuff in there I would like to flush out the tanks
and lines and check the brake units, etc. What should I use to do
this? I expect I will need to drop the tanks to do it right.

Anyone been through this out there?
