Air tank water

[williamcharrison]

Is it necessary to drain water from the air tank(s) manually on
a 90 SP36, and where are the valves if any? Also, my pressure relief
valve doesn't "spit" until almost 150lb pressure, is this normal?

No that is not the norm. Adjust the air governor or replace it.

-Thanks for the reply Ralph. I still don't know if there are manually
operated drain valves on the air tanks though. Also, where do I get
the air governor and how do I replace it?

Chuck:

You should have a manual valve on the bottom of each of the air tanks,
there are automatic valves that will drain the thank at a certain point(I
don't trust those) and there are valves that are manual but have a lanyard
that you route to the edge of the coach for draining (recommended)

The air governor should be attached to the air compressor on the engine
usually head in place by 2 small bolts with a gasket and 2 or 3 air lines
attached to the header on the compressor. Generally you will have to adjust
the air pressure on the new or existing governor and the adjustment is
located under the black rubber cover on one end, The paper work with the
new one will tell you how to adjust it. They can be found at any truck
store as can the lanyard air tank valves. Stores like truck pro and so forth.

Air tank should be governed to about 120 lbs. Air tanks with
automatic water release have been in use for some time (probably
since the early 80s) so there may not be a manual valve for that
purpose. (Check the history at Vintage Birds -- I recall reading
about it there...)

No that is not normal. You need to service the dryer by rebuilding or
replacing it with a rebuilt unit. (D-4 on my coach) Also time for a
new governor. You might also check the "Expello" valves on your air
tanks that are under the kitchen floor. Very difficult to get to.
