I'll be darned. A factory aftercooler. Looks like there's one on that Sullivan too, but for what those cost I'd kinda expect one. As to tank drains, I'm not real sure opening every two hours is a good idea. I have a tip: install a small wye strainer horizontally ahead of the auto-drain with the wye up. This is upside down. The drains plug with rust, the strainer will keep the chunks out. Upside down, the chunks will rattle and roll, turning into silt that will pass through the drain. Just remember: you read it on the internet. 
Field trip. I went into an "industrial supply" and spotted a DeWalt vertical compressor, and now I see what Ed is up against. The pump looked bad, like they don't know how to make castings. It cast a dark cloud over the whole compressor. I was afraid it was going to fall over on me so I left.
