AaronWilliams Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Does anyone on the forum find that they need to purge the air tank every couple of months due to condensation? Quote Adubya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bship Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Moisture build up is normal, I don't know what all is available for cars but for normal air compressors there are valves that automatically drain the moisture, and drying filters as well. I have seen some rusted ass tanks, water is definately an enemy. I would drain it off every 90 days or so and if it is not too hard, open it up and let it dry out completely once a year or so.

lowpt Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 A lot of tanks come with a bung in the bottom for a drain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrthnu92 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 My buddy drilled a hole in his air tank when we were redoing his setup to see how much water was in it, go about a 1 inch diameter wet spot on the drive way out of it, his truck had been bagged and daily driven for just under a year. If you wanna play it safe get a water trap, AVS has nice little billet aluminum one for $35 http://www.avsontheweb.com/home.php?cat=322 and AIM has one for $20 http://www.airbagit.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=water+traps Quote My truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
