I had the same problem, although not as much line, I had to run my a/c
full time in the shop to keep the humidity down. I also installed a
disposible silica filter that I got from Grainer. It has taken care of
about 90 percent of the moisture, a water trap on the end of the hard
line where I hook my soft line to completed the solution.
