Title: Rear air tank release
Post by: Peter on February 19, 2021, 07:58:40 am
Is there any point in trying to release the air pressure from the air tank located in front of the rear drivers side wheels during extreme winter months?
Currently it is in the -15 F range here in Alberta Canada and there is a good chance that any moisture will be frozen in it anyway
Suggestions would be appreciated

I can't think of any reason to worry about it.  A small amount of water frozen in the bottom of the tank won't hurt anything.

Once you get into spring and things thaw out then check the drain. If you do get moisture out of the wet tank drain then you need to think about rebuilding the dryer. If the dryer on your coach is functioning properly there should be nothing but air coming out the drain of your wet tank.

The valve may stick open in the cold .Leave it until warmer . IMHO .
