anybody else have these leaks?

rosswhenifloss · 09-02-2008, 07:45 PM

I woke up this morning and had barely any air in my tank. So I got my trusty bottle of soap water and started squirting. Only spot i found was where air was backfeeding into the compressor and coming out of the filter... I've had this 380 on my truck for about 3 months too. Anybody else's viairs leak?

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...... do you have a check valve? if you do, that shouldnt happen.... besides, its bad for the compressor to fight the tank pressure.... hence, why u should have one.... if you have a check valve, get a new one

dont the leader hoses contain a check valve?

Where did you purchase it from? You have a 1-year warranty against that defect. Contact your supplier, because if you remove the leader hose yourself, Viair will more than likely void your warranty.

yeah but checkvalves can stick. try takin it out the takin and spray it internally with lube

I run a square D so that voids it and I have already had to replace the leader hose once.
