[SML] Air Brakes/Casters

[Stephen E Rees]

I concur with Greg and Ken in their assessments that if your on board air tank is filled with filtered dry air you should not have any issues with moisture in your caster system.

I never used a filter on my pneumatic caster setups in 20 years and never had an issue.  Now that I am thinking about it, half of my fill lines didn’t have a filter inline and still had no issues.  I am sure it wears the o-rings and cylinders but for the amount that these were used I got lucky I guess.
