Air compressor tank

[Doughnuts]

So I have an 80 gallon Curtis horizontal tank that Im rebuilding a quincy 325 for. The inspection plate says 220 sides and 190 end caps which is way thicker than most tanks they make today. Id like to rehab it but I am concerned about the fact that there are no fittings on the bottom. Can I really effctively drain this thing regularly if all of the water is in the bottom and the drain would be on the sides? Any advice is appreciated thanks fellas

There is a dip hose to the bottom if it has a side drain. It's mainly/cause,,,, it's so that there is no sump to freeze. When it thaws can drain it.

OH! I didnt even realize that. You just solved my dilema. I prefer horizontal tanks as long as theres no space issue. Im not very tall so its easier for me to work on the horizontal tanks. Thank you!
