Put it in a cup in the oven and dry it out. It will return to blue for
reuse.

That desiccant you have is reusable. Pop it into a microwave for two minutes or
so, and it turns a deep purple, ready to be used again. And yes I only put
one filter puck on each end of the drier along with the fine aluminum screens.
The screens keep the desiccant from getting into the system. It really doesn't
last a whole lot longer, it will hold more water.

Here's the question... Would it help to leave out a couple of the felt filter
pucks and use more desiccant? IOW - is mo better? Thoughts? JB

Does anyone have a spare bottom left (looking from cockpit) SS exhaust section
for a housai? I have the clamp and gasket version.

Jon,
The blue to pink/red desiccant is no longer used as the moisture off it is
corrosive. Best to switch to the orange to gray green type which is not
corrosive.
You will note that the assembly order is: (from the AIR IN END)
1. ss end cap
2. ss spring
3. ss end plate
4. ss screen
5. felt pad
6. ss screen
7. Total contents of desiccant packet
8. ss screen
9. Next alternate pad, screen, pad, screen until all pads are used up
10. ss screen
11. ss end plate
12. ss spring
13. ss end cap
Note that this gives you 7 pads after the desiccant, I am assuming that
this was designed to absorb the moisture if you were a bit late in changing
your desiccant. My personal opinion is that rather than to remove some
felt pads you should consider moving you your time line for desiccant
change. Failure to maintain your pneumatic system (keep it clean and dry)
will cost you dearly down the road. I have found that telling this to many
CJ drivers is much like trying to convince a 16 year old that smoking may
result in lung cancer.
Best to all,
Doug
