Air governor

[dspithaler@...]

Chuck My expello valves went bad last year & I replaced them with valves
that has a cable on them & I run the cable to the side door. I knew they
were bad because they kept releasing air. If yours are working good I wouldn't
worry about them. That expello valve is made to automatic release any moisture
that gets by the air dryer. I guess that is why BlueBird put them up in that
covered area. They can't be got to very easy. I heard mine hissing is how I
found them.
The air dryer should be serviced if you haven't had it done since you
got the coach. If you crawl under by your water heater compartment & look up on
the curb side of the drive shaft you will see it. You will at least need a
new cartridge & a new spitter valve. I had a whole new dryer put on when I got
the coach 4 years ago. My garage said it was better at that time to put on a
new unit rather that rebuild it. Mine is a Bendix AD-9 . Look in Randy's
forum in the files there is some good info on them by John Finn.

Thanks Don,
Have you ever gotten anything out of the 2 center tanks?
Is any maintenance required on the air dryer and where is it located?
