Problems... when we got the truck it was loaded with water. the main line from compressor to air dryer was too short from factory, a Kenworth issue. Compressed water vapor was too hot to be captured by filter cartridge. Loading the tanks with water. So I made one 5' longer. But the amount of soot in the cartridge and dryer isn't helping either.
I want to relocate the compressors air intake line from the engine intake to fresh air and looking for ideas.
I'm thinking of fabricating pipe to a seperate air filter.
Thanks

If your getting excess soot into the air compressor then your getting excess soot into the engine too... PERFORM AN EGR TUNE-UP and keep after things regularly so that excess soot does not end up into the intake and the DPF system.
