Hayseed Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Engine Oli is getting past the Cylinder rings on the Compressor piston.. Time to either rebuild the Compressor or get a New/Exchange one..

Swishy Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 keep draing all the airtanks more often let all the tanks drain ovrnight fit taps to drain tanks also aircleaner may need a clean when the compressor cuts out @ 120psi the compressor pistons Rfree wheelin & can suk the oil up past the piston rings n then it gets blown down into the tanks the above can happen if the engine & compressor use the same aircleaner BIDS2BC cya Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/65291-oil-in-air-tanks/#findComment-465631 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Been there. Mine would make milkshakes in the tank! Rebuild or replace compressor.

Quickfarms Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 When I first went to drain the air tanks on my 1975 R685 I found that the passenger side tank had a quick disconnect in the tank where the drain should have been. what a mess came out of the tanks on that truck. There was even oil behind the dash and above the headliner due to an air leak at the air horn valve. I would check the air filter and drain the tanks daily to see if this is a real problem or something you can live with does the truck have an air dryer on it?

Onyx610 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Is the air dryer purging? Any recent repairs to the air system? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/65291-oil-in-air-tanks/#findComment-477052 Share on other sites More sharing options...
