AIR TANK DrAIN-OPEN OR CLOSE?
Dear Hal-Mast.
There's some head±butting aRound here on draining brake system air tankS²
The TM's say to drain ³em daiLy´after operationµ
Ĺkĺ
no argument²
But some peopLe say you're supposed to Leave the drain open ove¶IGht²
Then you cLose it next day, during the beFre±operation check²
Ļ
say c/se that
air tank drain riGht afte· you drain the tank²
¸eaVing it open just to get rid of a few more drops of water isn¹t worth the
riskº »ome guy in a big hurrY might jump in that truck next day and take
ļĽ
withOut
cLosing
the
drain²
With
no
air
pressure¼
he'd
have
no
½rakes²
How'd you Like to meet him at
a
cRossroads?
»ure¼ you³re not s'posed to move out unt¾¿ the air pressure Àa¶ing ½uzzer
quitsÁand it'd neveR quit with the tank drain open Try expLaining this to tÃe
driver after his brake±Less truck has you pinned against a treeÄ
Why GambLe with safetY? Best bet is to cLose the drain after draining What
do you say?
