Compressor question-
My compressor has been stored in the cellar over the winter with the valve open. Each time i finish using it i open the valve and blow out any moisture , and again before i use it next time. This time as i blew it out i tilted the tank to be sure i got all the moisture out. Out came a small pool of a grey/brown liquid. Checked the oil level, and it was fine. Any ideas of what it could be??
Thanks.

It's just rust from the liquid that forms in the steel tank..
It is common..

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..

Looks like Tagger confused JPI and Jigman again. To clarify, I'm the guy that plays the bass the right side up 
Its rust like the other gents suggested. Don't drink it....

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Thanks.  i figured the brown was rusty water but couldn't figure out the grey sludge mixed in.  Worked fine no moisture in the line.  |

ahhh rust slime.. like what i get offa the undercarriage of my truck when I wash it.. grey poop, might be from when they painted the tank at the factory.. whatever ended up inside the tank came out with the rusty water..
I tilt mine every time when I do the tank bleed and get a nice spray pattern of rusty slop  |
