Air Tanks and Why You Should Drain Them Every Couple of Days

Published by Open Bay Truck Repair on 1-30-2024

Moisture, oil, and even road debris can work its way into your air tanks every time you run your truck. The water and oil is bad for both your truck and trailer air lines.

In freezing temperatures, your air lines can freeze, keeping you from trucking. Draining the air from your tanks every couple of days in normal conditions or routinely on cold weather days can save you and your truck a lot of headaches.

Another great tip to keep your air system in working order is to change your air dryer cartridge at least once a year. These small tasks can help keep you and your truck rolling.
