I remember Uni talking about this. I think that's the way I would go. Just keep a sharp eye on how dirty that filters getting.

I have an X15 in a pete 567 that's getting a lot of water in the tanks too. How did you come to the conclusion that it was to short of a hose from compressor to dryer?

The air from the compressor is very hot... it has to cool and condense for the air dryer to catch that moisture. - If the hose is too short, not allowing it to cool the air a bit, and the air dryer stays hot all the time, then the air will remain hot and not condense. - Mounting the air dryer in the air stream so that it stays cool helps too.
