    see, thats where I'm confused - there are 3 holes - one coming out the front of the tank, one on the side of the tank and one coming out the side of the tank that runs from the compressor.

    Is one a water drain from the tank, maybe down low on one end?? It's a little pull thingie that's spring loaded on my older one.
    It allows you to drain the moisture out after it's ran for awhile.

    Often theres a valve somewhere on the compressors that 'unloads' the backpressure on the compressor while the motors starting up.
    Once the motors up to speed it closes & lets the tank fill up with compressed air. That could be what the other fitting is for. I dunno, I'll have a look at mine when I'm there.
