AIR RESERVOIR DAMAGE
General Information:
The reservoir stores air that it receives from the compressor. Reservoir leaks can
be detected by listening for escaping air or by pouring water over the reservoir
and watching for air bubbles.
Repairs normally are made by welding the reservoir;
but if welding equipment is not available,
and the hole is small, a repair can
still be made using this procedure.
