Dump Valve Rebuild?
When I have no air pressure and need to dump, I am able to use the
air valves manually. It's a little inconvenient but I don't have the need to do that very often so no big deal. With the engine running, the air from the compressor goes to the air- dryer then to the tanks. With an auxiliary compressor, is there a need to be concerned about filling the tanks without going through the air-dryer?
