[QUOTE="Dutch Dawg, post: 1187691, member: 4843"] As Browndigger suggested, in many cases the cheap chineeze made tank drain valve does not reseat properly after draining. A gentle kick or nudge if you will with the toe of your boot not only can seat the seal on it, but also works wonders to expel the frustration one develops after cycling thru the ignorant DOR messages at start of work. Whom ever post tripped the dolly prior to your use, if done properly would have drained the air and would have no idea at that point the dolly was leaking. On occasion the tractor will not have enough air for both an air depleted dolly and back box which will cause the dolly (J?) valve on the side rail of dolly frame to bleed. This can often be recitified by turning the front box red (safety side, on rear of trailer) valve off untill the blue/yellow (brake side) has fully charged; which may also require bringing the tractor air pressure back up. This style of dolly lowers the center of gravity on a set and undoubtly thru time has contributed to saving an :censored: or two from rolling. A double/triple coupling device can also be called a convertor? What's this world coming to? Next thang you know someone will suggest package cars are trucks. [/QUOTE]
