Easy, just pinch off the feed line between the compressor and tank(s). A pair of smooth jaw vice grips works or even folding the tubing back on itself to pinch it off. Just a word of caution is in order, that it is possible to weaken the pinched line which may cause it to burst later. Kind of reminds me of the white air tanks that would blow up under any kind of impact.
