OT: Aircompressor Pressure Release between tank and air pump

I've put an air compressor togeather with a tank.. I have one problem
though.. Once the tank is pressurized and the compressor shuts off there
isn't a leak down for the air pump. I have a checkvalve between the
compressor and the tank but I need some sort of pressure release for the
compressor pump itself so when it shuts down it will release pressure.. If
you don't release the pressure the motor cant start the air pump.. There is
just too much backpressure on it.

Does anybody know what I can do to remedy this problem other than leave the
fittings loose?

Thanks,

- Mike
