Re: [Diesel-RVs] Re: Tire Pressure - Can't Fill When Cold

Harry,
Just raise the air pressure on the compressor governor to 130 lbs. When the air dryer discharges, you will loose 5 lbs on the discharge. Then you will have 125 lbs to air up your tires. Chuck B

Harry, I can only offer up what I do in that situation. I put the
5lbs (or whatever I need) in when I can....UNLESS it takes me over the
Max inflation pressure on the sidewall. This isn't normally a problem
on my drive axle, but I can have this issue on my front axle which is
running near max.

At first opportunity though, especially if there is a big temperature
swing, I adjust when the tire is cold.
