00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,875
Each main reservoir is supplied with telltale holes predrilled from the outside of the reservoir as specified by government regulation.

2
00:00:08,875 --> 00:00:14,750
The purpose of the telltale holes is to indicate the condition of the interior surface of the reservoir.

3
00:00:14,750 --> 00:00:19,375
The holes are drilled to a depth considered to be the minimum wall thickness.

4
00:00:19,375 --> 00:00:27,417
As corrosion inside the reservoir occurs and consumes the corrosion allowance material, a “weep” occurs at the predrilled area.

5
00:00:27,417 --> 00:00:36,875
This weep, which may be observed as air leakage or moisture droplets, provides an advance warning of the loss of the reservoir interior surface thickness.

6
00:00:36,875 --> 00:00:41,167
<b>Warning:</b> The main air reservoirs are compressed air devices.

7
00:00:41,167 --> 00:00:45,375
Compressed air is extremely dangerous if not handled correctly.

8
00:00:45,375 --> 00:00:52,792
Do not attempt to service, repair, or break any connections or air lines without bleeding all pressure from this device.

9
00:00:52,792 --> 00:00:58,458
If leakage is detected, check for a break in the reservoir shell at one of the holes.

10
00:00:58,458 --> 00:01:00,875
Replace the reservoir as needed.
