Do I use my alcohol evaporator?

[itspaidfor]

I say use it actually air brakes love alcohol it cleans out old grease oil & crud. I have used it for years and saved a few shutdowns as my air dryer froze up and I freed it with alcohol. Its there for a reason & mine are all plumbed in before air dryer!

when freight trains went from steam to diesel....remember that ? Bendix Westinghouse designed the air brake system, which consisted of rubber parts, that used barrels of methyl alcohol...
then along came trucks with air brakes. They all used alcohol sniffers for 50 years or more.
And before all that they drained/purged the tanks
at 45 below zero when a days work costs an oil company a half million dollars or more, I can safely tell you what will get a piece of iron back to work the fastest, and it isn't an air dryer.
I have never seen a brake part failure related to alcohol....oily water/condensate and sludge, yes.
