Air tank question

Main Train Horns
1

So while testing these horns, blasting them a bit here and there, I have a few operations/type questions:

-So when I turn on the ignition, the compressor goes off (this is each morning.) So I know I am losing air overnight.

Is that normal OR do I just have to check connections? Im sorry if it sounds like a silly question but…In other words, that pressure switch that is on it: Is its purpose to bleed out air overnight? Im just not sure what to expect.

Or with all connections in check, should expect to have a perfectly fully pressurized tank the next morning without the compressor kicking on, if I left it fully charged the night prior?

I would check over all connections with bubbles. You more than likely have a leak on one of your connections.

I have the same problem right now just havn’t made myself tighten a fitting up yet

I would take a bottle of windex or mild soap/water mixture and see which connections bubble… like Beast said… tighten up the connections that are loose, make sure you are using pipe tape or locktite.
