That is a common problem when the tanks are not drained properly after every trip.
Yep! If you don't drain the tanks at the end of a day's driving water sits in there and rusts them out from the inside. I think an air dryer helps with that, but there's a good reason why the manuals and professional truckers still do it! I think the DMV CDL manual for NY even says to do it.

I have my stupid thoughts.
One needs to be corrected because there is no space between "air" and "tanks".

Keep it coming. This has been a great project to follow! Everything looks awesome.
I was thinking of putting a helicopter crash seat like this. Trying to figure some ad hoc roll over protection

Now the pneumatic release cylinder works properly.
I applied talc, this has the effect of preventing rubber objects from drying out.










.
Neat Idea... Never even considered Talc before.
Be careful though because the lawyers are after people who manufacture that stuff. :-(
