my bed in my avalanche works great to keep my compressors working… its like 25 degrees out and they still kick on and pump air like nuffin!
but now i gotta go tightned all my bag fittings cuz cold air created some leaks…lol
well i took off the air line from the compressor to the tank(the one on the tank, not the compressor) and after releasing the air and taking out the air line i dropped some of that fluid down in my tank, 2 caps full so not alot but hopefully enough.
let us know how it works out…
scaredu-
i have the same problem… have had it since i installed everything. During the summer i had NO LEAKS . Now , after the tank sits over night i will loose 30-40 psi if it gets down real cold.
i actually went as far as putting a shut off valve on the air feed line from the tank to horns so that way i can shut off the air supply at night in case the electric valve starts to leak from the cold… dont want the horns unleashing all hell at 3AM. LOL
It be like an alarm clock… whooo whooooooo
i think ima take my truck out for black friday and thats it… let it sit all winter air out… then wait til spring to drive it…
You don’t seem like the kind of guy who can go a full season without hornblasting people … how will you cope until then?
Here’s another tip to lessen the chances of moisture in your compressor…
Always mount your compressors HIGHER than your receiver (air tank). Gravity forces any collected moisture AWAY from your compressor(s), and leader hose, and has a better chance of draining into the tank.
Whenever possible, mount the compressor(s) as close as possible to the air tank, to keep moisture draining away from the compressor and allowing the leader hose to warm up with the heat from the compressor’s head.
lol i know! but i scare people none the less with other things…
my avalanche is more like a weekend driver now! only on nice days…lol
yea salt sucks
ditto!
