Dennis Savarese" Subject: Re: Yak-List: Re: Compressor troubleshooting before replacing I know you didn't call it a filter.=C2- I did, in quotes.=C2- Being sa rcastic.=C2- That so called filter should have been placed at the externa l air fill port to trap junk that might be injected into the air system bef ore it goes to the emergency and main air system. In it's present position, just below the pressure relief valve, junk that i s forced into the air system when filling from the external air fill port h as to pass through 2 check valves, which is ridiculous because many times t hat junk causes one or both of those two check valves to leak.=C2- If the junk were captured before it ever got to the check valves, there would be less check valve failures. The type of air filter that should be installed below the pressure relief v alve is one that has screens, felt filters and desiccant to remove moisture from the system.=C2- Just like the one Doug Sapp sold for the CJ's and w as adapted to the Yak 52's by placing it in same position as the original " filter".=C2- Now THAT was a filter!Dennis=C2- On Tuesday, November 30, 2021, 04:55:00 AM EST, Stratyaks wrote: m> dsavarese0812(at)bellsout wrote: > The "filter" you are speaking of is totally junk.=C3=82=C2- It's useles s.
