This old puppy is coming home to be my new Parts/Tool room so it's only got to go less than 15 miles. I'm not sure about caging all the cans. and I only have 3 caging bolts.
I'm having a bugger of a time with a new to me old 1990 Double Drop Atlas van trailer with air ride suspension ... can't hardly get under the sucker to access or even look Life ain't easy when your Fat AND Greasy . The gladhands were cut off and one 1/4" air fitting is connected to one airline (3/8" plastic tubing) the other airline was left open. Both airlines that are coming from the rear of the trailer are black so I'm not sure which is which ...¿red/blue? Getting some gladhands, fittings and tubing couplers tomorrow ... suggestions? Also do you have a quick way to tell which airline goes to Emergency Supply/Red and which goes to Break Service/Blue because I am having a hard time crawling in the snow and under the LOW low lowboy trailer. I pressurize the one line I hear air trying to come up in the tanks but all I can get is about (tops out at) 63psi out of my little 3gal AC air compressor... Not enough to release the the Supply line gurrrr I don't hear any big leaks but it bleeds down rather quickly and holds a small amount of back pressure. It has been extremely cold -20*F ~ -7*C warmed up now and I've been purging the one line with lots of alcohol.
Am I pressurizing the Break Service line and not releasing the Emergence Service line when I pressurize the one connected airline? I also think the air suspension system is supplied by the Emergency Service line, Let me know if I'm wrong; if that is the case, as I pressurize the one airline with my little compressor the air suspension should inflate even at 60psi. Thanks for letting me walkthrough this. If you have any suggestions let me know.
