    Record and time the leak after purge event or compressor cutout. Is it the same time leaking after purge?, every time.

    Some ADIS dryers are extended purge.

    When all else fails contact Bendix. They are most often great help and have solutions for common failures.

    Every time I replace my AD 9, the new one purges a long time. At least 5 seconds. Once it “ breaks in” it purges quickly, like normal.
