Gotta question about b 42 air brake tanks. I've installed them on the frame but something doesn't look quite right. 

I took plenty of pictures but of course the part I need to see isn't in the picture.

I think the front tank is correctly aligned but it's the rear one I'm unsure of. As viewed from behind the tank, the drain valve looks to be ttilted way too far.

I guess the simplest question would be does anyone have a few good pictures of the two air tanks placement ?

Don't have any pictures of a B-42 application.  The air drains are to face straight down to allow all moisture to be expelled from the tanks.  It is OK to have various fittings and the pressure relief valve not located on the "top" of the tank.  Drain down and everything else will be good.

It doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Thanks J. I layed awake in bed last night and thought , "You dummy. As long as the drains point down it doesn't matter where the top fittings end up."

Thanks for confirming my brain fart!
