Storing Morini Air Cylinders

How should Air Pistol Cylinders be stored? Full , Empty, or just a little pressure? I usually keep mine filled, but I may be quite wrong.

Thanks,

Dwight

After nearly twenty years playing with Morini it does not appear to matter.
I normally leave them attached to the pistol at the end of a match, stored with the pistol un cocked.
Re fill just prior to the next shoot, cycle a few air only cycles before sighters then shoot.
Some other pistol you need to empty the pre charge chamber (disconnect the tank and fire) so as not to weaken the spring pile in the regulator.
