Bendix air pump replacement

[Stephen Birtles]

are you geeting more water or oil in the first tank than usual or if
equipped do you have to =srevice air dryer more than usual this may be
a sign that rings are passing oil into air lines which would
necessitate a rebuild if not check governor or replace it. It is a 20
dollar part and if it craps out will affect the inital fill rate by
restricting air flow
