Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Full disclosure--I'm a auto press newbie.I bought a Harbor Freight Compressed Air Dryer, because I needed to watch my expenditures. That, and the reviews were mostly very positive. (Might have been a BIG mistake. Not sure yet)Well, I didn't think the first one worked, so they replaced it with another one. Now, I think the first one DID actually work (sortof) but its too late now. THIS one hasn't removed a single drop of condensate that I can see. I've opened it up and according to my farmboy understanding of sealed refrigerant systems, all seems well. Hi side is HOTT and the Low side is cold. It just doesn't drip or spit out any moisture from the drain tube. EVER...And the "OUT" air piping isn't particularly cold.I can't see anyplace to attach manifold guages to do any pressure diagnostics. The temp gauge reading is attached.There are some experts out there. But I can't find anybody who KNOWS, that I can actually TALK to.
I don't think I have a separator before my press.
