If you mean the moisture trap, mine is. It has standard 1/4" NPT threads.
question to all: Is there any way I can hook up a car fuel pump filter to work? It looks about 1/4 inch, and looks like it will work.

Maybe, but they aren't meant to trap moisture. In fact they are meant to pass moisture. They are only for trapping particles.]

I was using mine yesterday afternoon at 100 psi,(general purpose) and I saw moisture in the trap for the first time ever. However, there's always water when I drain; not in the trap, just from the valve. I drained it yesterday like normal and this morning I started it and there's still quite a bit of moisture (water actually) in the bottom of the trap. I know the trap's working now, but I'm worried as to why it hasn't dried out yet. Is this normal? It's been about 17 hrs. now, since last use. ![Confused [%-)]](/FSM/CS/emoticons/icon_smile_perplexed.gif) Spencer

It probably won't dry out until you start using the compressor again. That is pretty much a "Closed System" and isn't getting any outside air. The small amount of air inside is already saturated because of the moisture in the trap and can't hold any more. It probably won't dry out until some more less-saturated air is intruduced into the trap.

Thanks Scott, I was kinda thinking along those lines, hoping so at least. I turned it off not too long after my previous post and left the drain valve open. I'm not sure if that's a good idea, or bad. I hope it's not bad, because I forget to close it sometimes after use, quite frequently actually.

It won't hurt anything at all. I do it myself occasionally. Started up my compressor once day and then after about 10 minutes realized the thing was still running. Looked at it, zero pressure, turned it off, turned it on, nothing. Scratched my head, cussed, then closed the drain valve and tried again.

![Laugh [(-D]](/FSM/CS/emoticons/icon_smile_newlaugh.gif) I've done the exact same thing!
![Sign - Off Topic!! [#offtopic]](/FSM/CS/emoticons/icon_smile_sign_offtopic.gif) Hey Scott, I decided to redo the 66mm, or should I say 666mm. lol. I need to get the tubes angled a bit better and use less CA. They weren't too bad, but I know I can do 'em better. Is nail polish remover the best thing to use for CA removal from brass? (I don't have any straight acetone)
Ryan, I didn't mean to be rude, but I don't know anything about Testor's compressors. I have a Testor's AB and when I bought my Husky compressor, I was VERY unsatisfied with it. Now that I have a compressor I'm getting pretty good results, for a novice. I'm sure if you contact Testor's Corp. they'll be more than willing to help you. Probably send you a manual and answer any questions you have. They were going to replace my AB for me. Here's the contact link: http://www.testors.com/help/contact.asp It might take a little while for a reply, but not too long. I hope this helps some. Cheers, Spencer ![Smile [:)]](/FSM/CS/emoticons/icon_smile.gif)
