    You don’t need to leave the drain(s) open if there’s no water coming out

    Hey my knob just keeps on free spinning on all three tanks both open and closed. What’s up with that?

      @michellemuller6852 If it's not releasing air, you might have a bad valve. Should be a cheap repair.

      Put some break antifreeze in there either through the main line from the compressor or the air tank, also change the air dryer filter this must be done yearly before winter. Mine also froze that's why I been gone for a little while, but I'm good now. Will make vedios on this once it warms up.

    How do I know it's drain?

      You will no longer hear air draining, also your air gage in truck will show zero. You can also drain your tank by pressing the brakes repeatedly with the truck shut off, keep eye on gage and once at zero you can stop pressing breaks.
