I would make it a habit to take the external valve assembly out and inspect it if you aren't already doing that. I take the thing apart and look to make sure there aren't any missing seals or cotter pin (caught that before), and to make sure there isnt any product residue. I also confirm the internal valve has fluid and opens all the way and then drain any water through the chicago. If everything is kosher its good to go, if not I call in and get a new trailer.

Our trailers come with a chicago valve at the bottom of the external valve. Usually when a tank wash finishes a clean they leave the int valve open, ext valve open, and the chicago valve open to let any moisture drain off. But sometimes they forget and thats usually where you will see the most moisture built up as it is the lowest point.realsupatrucka and 88 Alpha Thank this. -
