Front unloader valve.

Rayj1954 · February 05, 2018, 07:06:25 AM

Is it possible to get to the valve from the spare tire hold?

What part are you talking about?

Air drier purge valve?

Levelling valve exhaust?

unloaders are in the top of your compressor in the rear.
maybe he is talking about leveling valves and no you can t get to them from there.

My guess would be that he is talking about the air dryer purge valve. No you cannot access it from the spare tire compartment, u got to get yourself under the bus

Not really sure. It is just in front of the front axle almost middle of the coach at the bottom of a tank (somewhere near 8 gal). I'm really new sorry. It is 83 mc9. It is down on the bumpers and the valve is stuck open parked on gravel.

What type of Bus do you have what area are you close to that someone here might want to help you out if you need it? Look at our profiles at the bottom of our posts. You need to include the coach type you have.

Sounds like it could be a drain valve at bottom of tank. Did this just happen? Does it have a cable attached or air line/s? If air lines, how many?

It is possible, I am not sure. It is at the bottom of a tank in front of the front axle. One of the local mechanics told me there was an unloader valve in the front of the bus when I lost the ability to get the system aired up. I finally found it and sure enough it is stuck open, (bleeding off all the air). This beast is on a gravel lot and down on its bumpers. Can't get a jack in to get it up. Got to get this off and rebuilt or replaced.

No cables, an electrical wire two lines on the tank I can see.

If it looks like this, and hooked to bottom of tank, it is used to eject moisture automatically, every time air compressor cycles.

Sounds like the purge valve on the bottom of the air dryer (which looks like an air tank) is stuck open.

Thank you very much. Sure looks like it from as close as I can get to it.
