Well, if the tank originally came with the drains (which are nothing more than poppet valves), the holes for mounting them should still be there - they're probably been plugged with a bolt or something of that sort. Replace them.
If the tank wasn't designed that way, then it has (or had) a pressure guage and cutoff switch which would either cycle the compressor clutch off, or open the circuit which powered the compressor to make it stop.

What happens without automatic air tank drains?
You would have to use a cycling clutch air compressor connected to pressure sensors in the tank. Otherwise, the tank would overpressurize and rupture. The problem with this method, aside from it being excessively complex, is that it leaves no means to drain moisture out of the tank.

How does an oil catch tank work?
The oil catch tanks we used to build for Detroit brand Diesels was a oil air separator tank the the "Blower Box Drains" were piped into. As the engine runs a twenty (ish) PSI blast of air comes out of these drains and into a chamber where the air speed drops so the oil is no longer blown around or supported and settles out, the air the escapes through another port open to the outside air. This system separated virtually (95% + )all the oil keeping the vehicle legal. If you have a different type of catch tank or application in mind please detail the application in another question.
What is the air vent on a gas tank of a Honda rebel for?

Is it necessery to put air dryer in pneumatic system?
Yes, if the downstream instruments or equipment is sensitive to moisture. Air is heated when it is compressed. As the air cools liquid moisture condenses out. In addition to an air dryer, a manual or timed automatic tank drain is usually installed to periodically drain trapped moisture in the receiver or tank.
What is an Aerated Septic System?
A septic tank lets out air when liquid comes in. Bacteria in the tank help breakdown the sewage into cleaner effluent which is released into the drainfield. Some bacteria need air to work, others work without air. The bacteria that work with air soon run out of air in the tank and stop working. They can be reactivated by putting air into the septic tank just like air is put in the water in a fish tank. The process or the system to put air into a septic system makes the system an aerobic or an aerated system.
Does well water tank without bladder need to have a air volume control to function?
No, many 'galvanised' tanks do not have an air volume control. As long as the tank is not drained while the pump is 'off' (ie in an electric cut-off) the tank is safe.

Why does oil drip out of the air cleaner in a 1984 harley Davidson softail?
There is a small chrome breather tube going to the air cleaner from the oil tank. After the bike sits all the oil drains down to the tank and when you first start the bike because of the low volume oil pump the some oil goes through the breather and into the air cleaner. you can go to a dealer they have a kit to fix that problem.
