Air Locker Question

[Chris]

In the air line, couldnt you just use pure Nitrogen, that way there wouldnt be any moisture (Oxygen would pose an exploding risk). Just a thought.

The only way to accomplish the perfectly clear airline in an automotive app is to use a Power Tank. I know one of our members here has one as I understand it and could probably tell you more about it than I. If you use an air compressor in a high humidity enviroment, ridding yourself of all humidity is almost impossible. It just comes with the territory.

[Chris]

So it is best to wait until really cold and low humidity, then put in the air.

Chris,

The problem is, here in Florida that would happen twice a year. Since I only have 2.5 gallons of available air, making that last all summer (9 months) would be impossible. Also keep in mind that in dry climates it is not an issue. Areas like the NE, midwest, etc. don't have anywhere near the problems with this those of us in the SE (and other high humidity areas) do, at least not until they go off-roading in an area where humidity is a factor. For those who want to get technical, I know there are other areas with both high and low humidity, I just used those as an example.

War,
Just an update on my install. I went with your advice and didn't skimp on my air hoses. I ended up ordering the same set up from the toy site you listed. My hoses should be here in the next couple of days and I feel good about the durability. Thanks again for the help, I'll let you know when I get the system up and running.

You won't be disappointed. Once you hit the off-road, you'll be glad you went for reliability.

[Chris]

I am worried about the lines freezing, which wont happen in Florida. But I have learned quite a bit in this forum, though.

Chris,

Seeing where you are from, you have every reason to be concerned. I am taking my X with me to NH for the first time since I put the airlocker in and will be putting it to the test XC skiing. I will let you know how I fare. With the heat of the air put out by the air compressor I am using, I am not too concerned about it though.

[Chris]

Thanks.
