Announcement: Silent air compressor

[Ed Westerly]

For those of you with Sil-aire val aire, etc. compressors, don't take the bowels off of the water/oil traps , as the seal will grow when you do , and they are close to impossible to put back. I now have a new bowel on order. Lesson learned!

 

[Beathard]

Thanks for the info. Just hope I remember when it's my turn to make this mistake.

Bruce: I've had mine off the water filter at least 50 times in the seven years i've owned it. Never had any trouble with the o-ring and still have the original?

 

[Ed Westerly]

That amazes me, Tim, because I'm pretty careful with things I haven't tried, and yet I cut the o-ring to pieces! I could not believe how much it expanded when I took the bowel off. it must have grown by .25 in at least!

 

[mitch]

ok, Bruce, i gotta ask- do you mean "bowl" or is this more than we care to know about your 'system'?

 

[Ed Westerly]

yes, I mean bowl. I don't always spellcheck everything.
