Pac Brake - Air Leaking???
On the Pac Brake PRXB, my air storage tank leaks overnight. 
It is NOT the tank but most likely somewhere from the compressor. Can one install a check valve?? Has anyone else seen this problem?

pet05,
I'll almost guarantee that your leak is from one of your fittings that the plastic airlines is connected to. I have found in the past that if the airline is not cut perfectly straight and held in place while tightening the fitting, it will leak. You'll need new ferules to take them apart and check them - once the ferules are used, they can't be reused - you'll cause a bigger leak by reusing them.
