Porter Cable Model C2002 Leaking

[Ned.Booker1968]

I have been given a Porter Cable Model C2002. It is leaking air at the drain valve. The compressor continues to run trying to overcome the small leak. I could use the compressor for short periods but can the drain valve be replaced without damaging the air tank? An if so, Can I do it? I am reasonably handy but do want to destroy the opening for the drain valve.

I see the part here and was just wondering ........maybe I could fix this......

Thanks, Ned Booker............

yes the drain valves can be replaced. usually a wrench will do it. sometimes they get really stuck and strip.
