|
|
When storing my Yak-52 in my hangar, I was told to
leave the snot valve open so as to avoid any
condensation from remaining trapped in the system. Is
this recommended? Will this hurt anything?
Thanks,

The only condensation you could drain out would come from 6' of pipe
from the compressor to the pop-off valve. So leaving the drain open
doesn't make a lot of sense.
Cheers,

I leave mine open and flag it, just as I do with the pitot tube and oil cooler intake. Remove flag and close valve.
The constant change in atmospheric pressure keeps the snot bottle empty and the air dryer clean of snot. At one time I didn't have a flag for the pitot cover and forgot it. With the flag, I have never forgot to take the cover off or close the valve.
A tip on the air dryer. My dryer had just started to oxidize. I cleaned it with a Dremmel tool and coated the inside with JB Weld. Problem gone. Stainless is better, but when on a budget simple is good.
