Ridewell down in the front.

[bluebird3208]

I have had a long standing problem of the front air bags deflating
soon after the bus is parked. The bags will not hold overnight and
sometimes that is all I need before leaving the next day. The jacks
work great but it is just one more thing to do. I have been all over
the bus. I have bubbled and sniffed (ultrasonic leak detector)every
air leak I could find, and I am talking a detail inspection. The two
dry tanks will hold air for 2 weeks but the wet bleeds off way to
soon.

Here is proof that even I get lucky sometimes. I have been working
on the genset quite a bit lately and I just hook up an air line from
the workshop to the schrader on the wet tank and keep it full to
operate the gen air ram. I was in a hurry today to go to lunch with
my wife and tried to whip the air hose of the shrader valve and
snapped it off the air tank fill. All the air in the wet tank
dumped rapidly as I left for lunch. When I got back the front of the
bus is still at ride height. The only thing that makes sense to me
is that I am some how getting pressure to the front dump valve when
there is available air pressure in the wet tank causing the front
bags to deflate.

Anyone got an idea?
