    I have Volvo 04 w/Volvo engine, this truck has 3 air tanks, the #1 (close to front axle) doesn't have air or pressure, but the others 2 have normal pressure. Somebody know what is wrong?

    Thanks, Walter

    front tank is your accumulator or wet tank. if your compressor is building pressure its going through the white tank to the two remaining tanks. Which means you have a leak somewhere in that wet tank.that tank cost about 500 bucks.build pressure till governor cut off.turn off engine and get down there and listen to wear its leaking.

    to find air leaks i always have a spray bottle of soap and water to help find the air leak..makes it a little easier to see when bubbles are formed
