    I'm assuming you have check the air governor.

    When was the last time the air tanks were drained?

    After the air dryer, the air goes to the front half of the wet tank. There is a bulkhead inside to separate the back half of the air tank. There is a check valve in there that can fail. After that, the air goes to the primary and secondary tanks.
    Also as mentioned, the governor maybe the problem.
