I too, had never seen much in my air tanks until, I had a compressor start making oil, on a very cold day the oil in the filter element wouldn't let the air pass and the "pop off" on the compressor would sound like a chainsaw under the hood :shock: I got back to civilization with a 2" dia. hose in the stack putting exhaust heat to the filter element...
Another time, I got truckin up the road and had what seemed to be a governor problem, I dumped some A.B.A.F into the line and made it back to town, took a different truck to work, got back later that day asked the tech what was the problem... 3 qts. of water in the wet tank ....
ops: Air dryer went bad...
So, the moral of the story is, draining your tanks is a good thing, even if you never see anything :wink:
