Just about 1 month ago i bought a Craftsman 60 gallon upright compressor. I have been using it some and recently when I took apart the fittings to add a filter I noticed the teflon tape had all turned yellow. So I thought "well, with no filter perhaps some of the dirt and stuff in the air is getting on the tape." After some use with the filter in place I noticed that on the output side of the filter I have some liquid that when I touched seemed to be oil. First off should't the filter catch this? Second why is this oil being sent out of my NEW compressor and through the hose.
Is this normal? Have you heard of anything like this?
I followed the break in procedures for the compressor to the letter. There have been a few times where I have used it with the sander and it has run for a while but it has never quit or done anything really weird other than this.
Any comments? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 265 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 265 | Have you checked the oil level in the compressor? I have noticed that mine will build up a pretty good load of water under heavy use and in the clear water separator it looks a kind of pukey yellow. On mine, I also replaced the drain plug in the bottom of the tank with an elbow and a short nipple with a ball valve so I can drain the tank often. | | |
