Title: Quick Air Compresser Question.
Post by: Chaz on December 25, 2007, 03:25:40 PM
Well, Santa was good to me this year and brought me the Craftsman 2gallon Compressor.  ;D ("SHE" had help from a buddy! ::))  I was just wondering how, where I should plumb it into the system. I know we talked about this subject before, but I'm not sure where you guys said to hook it in at worked on my bus. (Valve right after the compressor in engine bay) I tried using a hose from my shop compressor but it wouldn't take the air.
  Thanx,
    Chaz

Chaz,

I put mine just after the engine air compressor.

If Yours is like mine, there is a place when you open the transmission door that you can add a tee and a quick connect air fittiing.

I put a valve so I could use it as a output or input if needed.

Your surprize package went out on the 24th by UPS...Have fun!

Chaz,

Just remembered this a.m.

There was a schrader valve were I put the tee in, this was probably so they could add shop air while servicing or checking the air system.

Thanx Cliff!!
  It's actually 50* here today so I think I may play with it a bit. I'm pretty sure I know where you are talking about back there, but as I remember, there is also a petcock there that a person can drain the system from but it doesn't drain when opened. More investigation is in order i guess.
  Thanx for getting out the "Care package"!! I REALLT appreciate you doing that for me! I owe ya one! But you sure didn't have to do it on Xmas Eve!!
  Thanx again,
