Another compressor problem

[Pete Masterson]

Here's a nice booklet that fully describes how an air brake system
works:
<http://www.gnb.ca/0276/vehicle/pdf/ab_manual-e.pdf>

The air dryer is located between the "wet" and "dry" air systems. The
compressor will provide air to the wet air reservoir -- it then
passes through the air dryer to the dry air reservoir.

Most BBs use a Bendix AD-9 system -- a Google search will find some
photos. They look sort of like a big oil filter (but are attached to
the air lines).

If you're in cold weather, another common problem is for the step to
be 'stuck' in a partially extended position, sometimes this leaves
the air valve open and venting, keeping pressure from building up.
