Gents,
the average truck air compressor whether belt or direct drive is
around 7.5-8.5 Cubic feet per minute of air and will not be heard over the
sound of a cold Diesel that was just started (be it Summer or Winter). A
RED tag that attaches to the accessory switch would remind the driver
whoever it may be to close the air drain valves so he won't have to rely on
his leg power alone to stop safely.
Food for thought.........Where did the air go???????????????
