Dump Valve Rebuild?
Pete, many owners use the onboard tanks to contain the aux
aircompressor charge. With that arangement you can eliminate the aux air tank. Some OEM BB tanks on the bus will not drain back to the other tanks in an effort to keep Airbrakes charged longer if an appliance like the sewer Air valve fails and leaks air. To keep from pressurizing the brakes and bag tank you may be able to follow the pressure line from the sewer dump valve to the onboard isolated tank. The Tank should have a plug that can be removed and hard pipe the tank to an accessable shrader valve or a female quickcoupler( like you have on air tools). It sound as if you hooked the Microphor toilet to the new aux aircompressor. you can also attach the dump valves to the aux compressor tank and hardpipe the auxcompressor tank to one of the air outlet fittings from the DD compressor. no need to run the aux compressor while on the road. If you are running the aux compressor with the inverter this may also be a big draw on batteries.
