How To Keep Air Brakes On Trucks And Trailers In Top Condition
Allen Polyock, Zenda, Wis.: You can keep air brakes on trucks and trailers in top condition using Allen's simple maintenance technique."I've used it on all the trucks we've owned over the past 30 years and it works great. I take off the main feed line of the compressor at the engine and let the air out. Then I simply pour 1/2 pint of brake fluid into the line and reassemble the system.

"I do this twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring."
