[Roadsters] Compressor mounting--was that hard to get to nut

[Keith0alan at aol.com]

Mine is actually plumbed in to the big water trap rather than the tank. I  
get hardly any water in the tank but lots in the trap. Basically, if it's  
automatic and helps any at all it's a good thing.

Keith,

I've heard of these valves, but never seen one. I was  told by a 
compressor repair fellow that they "were no good" because the  air needs 
to cool in the tank before the water will condense out, but I  figured 
that while that may be true, the next time the compressor runs it  will 
get rid of that moisture, which is more often than most compressors  get 
drained.

Peace,
Pat
