Going to add a pressure tank to my trailer. For anyone who has one, does it need to be removed or drained when winterizing? Or do you run an extra 2 gallons of antifreeze?

Just curious what the pressure tank is and what it is used for.

In a cold climate anything with water in it will freeze and break. Drain everything! Chino

What do the instructions say regarding freeze protection?

Flotec - makes a variety of household water products - including pressure tanks. Their owners manuals (scroll down towards bottom of this link) indicates to not let them freeze.
