clean out air tanks

[dthollis1961]

Gardner,

On the 78 FC I had, the same stuff came out of my wet tank too. I
put on spring-loaded valves with cables that ran out to the outer
edge of the bus for easy access. It wasn't long before the goop was
gone and only a mist came out when draining. Spring-loaded valves
were about $8.00ea from the big truck shop. If you put them on,
save the old valves in case the spring valves ever fail.
