What does the reed valve do? Is it necessary to (use or change) it when putting on the air filter for the compressor? Thanks

the reed valve keeps the oil mist that all air compressors make from blowing back into the air filter and getting it oil soaked.

On my ACERT I had problems with large fitting riping out of the compressor head and also there was a rash of unloader valves being coked up. After talking with Bendix I found out this is a common problem on ACERT motors due to CAT engineers not listening to Bendix engineers. The problem was fixed by plumbing the compressor intake into the crossover tube air tube coming out of the air cleaners. Been running this setup for 5 years with no issues and pressure build up is still within spec. Just make sure you run a hose that has enough strength not to collapse as the compressor kicks in...seen another it happen to another guy.
