Air suspension drain port

[dragrace728]

Our 2000 Alpine Coach Diesel has the suspension air drain in the service bay, question is while the engine is operating could you use this port to pump air into your tires with an attached air hose ?

[Gary Arnold]

YES!

[Cuda67bnl]

I do

[wolfe10]

The drain ball valve to the drain itself-- NO.


The air chuck that connects to it-- YES.

[dragrace728]

so pumping 95- 100 psi is no problem ?

[Jeff and Cheryl]

95 to 100 PSI no problem.

Yes, absolutely. I fill our Jeep tires back up with it all the time after playing in the sand dunes. Only drawback, it airs your bags back up, so if your deflated and on the jacks just be aware of that.

Thanks. That’s a feature we could all use from time to time.

I backfeed shop air to mine when I'm working on it etc. 120-130psi I haven't had a problem so far.

I'm curious about your user name. Are you a fellow drag racer?

Thanks for the advice, heard that you could but never saw anybody do it.
