Is scrapping a 6 gallon air compressor safe?

I'll be in line for skin graphs and shrapnel removal. T00ncess2, do you know what that liquid is that I am hearing in the air chamber? I definetly hear a liquid; maybe 2 cups worth of something. I assume it would not be water, because that would rust the air chamber. Right? any ideas? LOL.. Is that liquid going to blow up on me when I open it?

Okay, sorry for my novice and inexperienced take on scrapping and air compressor.. I just don't want to get injured here.

The liquid will be dirty, rusty, nasty water. It is the reason the pitcock is put on the bottom of the compressor tank. DO NOT DRINK THE WATER!
