Condensation can also form in the air tank of your

com pressor. When this happens, a mixture of air and

mois ture will be expelled through the service valve

and into what ever is connected to the valve (e.g. air

hoses, metal air lines, pneumatic tools, spray guns).

An in-line ﬁlter or dryer, available from your local

Quincy distributor, may be re quired to eliminate

the moisture.

Condensation in the air tank can be kept to a

mini mum by draining the tank on a daily basis.

This also reduces the risk of rust developing and

weak ening the tank.
