Bad air leak help!

[jimbo2013]

I kept hearing air leaking up front, I was told it's normal bleed off.

Well went under fully aired up, spraying all lines etc.

Right of center there is an air tank with a cable on it, the one to release the air.

It was bubbling like crazy, it's a small device 4"x4" 2" high with the cable on pull type piston, I pulled on the cable thinking it might reset the seal, it wouldn't move.

I push in on the piston and it bled off the air, the housing itself is leaking and needs to be rebuilt or replaced.

I don't know what this part is called???

I checked to other tank with the cable again it wouldn't move or pull out to bled the tank, tried pushing in it worked.

Now I know these are not supposed to bleed that way or why would the cable be there to pull.

I can get 130psi but it just keeps leaking bad

Pull sideways.

That's not really the question, it's leaking

I remember posting in one of your threads a while ago about this leak, glad you found your problem.......
Does this look like what you need..... http://www.ryderfleetproducts.com/ha...ve-p-u55-12104 Look here https://www.rvchassisparts.com:8443/...is/runApp?id=5 also under chassis air system, Look here
http://www.anythingtruck.com/categor...ves-drain.html and see if you recognize anything.Maybe a photo would help if you can.

This is one of them, but not the leaking one



So does this get pulled sideways the way "stuhly" suggested?

the cable faces the rear of the coach.

Maybe I'll need to take a picture of the other one, it needs to come off I think the way it's leaking.

Forgot to add it has an electrical connection also

These type of drain valves can be pulled 360 deg. to drain water and when released they return to center and close off......
The 2 of them you have are different from each other?
Does it look like this http://www.anythingtruck.com/product...1-279952X.html

What chassis do you have?

[jimbo2013]

No it has a wire for some electrical source if that helps, it's on the pass side just off center.

OK, does this look like it, what chassis are you riding on?

This is what you need. You can get it at NAPA or about any auto parts store. Before you try to romove the old one be sure that you let all of your air out of the system or you will get a mud bath. You might try removing the "automatic moisture valve", take it apart , clean it ,then reinstall it.

Take a picture of the device, does it have a cable or electrical wire. It's probably just a water drain.
Anyway take a picture.

I didn't have my camera with me today, I pull it out or take a pic tomorrow, not driving with it.

It's a XC Freightliner chassis

Thanks for finding it.

Any idea how it operates?
