On or near the supply tanks

16 / 30

Which are not some of the problems that can occur from the wet tank?

Moisture in the brake system remains warm and stops freezing in cold temperatures

The mixture of moisture and oil can become corrosive and damage the air tank and other system components

Too much moisture and oil collecting in the air tanks can reduce the volume of air and may cause brake failure

The collected moisture and oil mixture can form a sludge that can pass from the tank into other components of the air brake system
