rpasetto Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Had a leak which began as seepage just barely noticeable. Glad we got home before it went wild. There was a broken hose on the air tube feeding the compressor. It must have let the metal part of the tube bounce or rub on the fuel line below it. Replaced the hose... apparently the bouncing made a pinhole leak in the line below it so it was spraying fuel. Now my question is: With all the suel-spray and air from the engine compartment which went into the compressor, is there anything that should be checked for in the compressor to be sure it is still OK?

John Haggard Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Personally I see no negative issue for your compressor. New fuel line section. New air hose. Run the engine and compressor and observe, listen. You should be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highwayman Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Very little fuel probably got in the compressor and if it did the dryer should spit it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xlr8ting1 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Most air compressors on Cummins engines source their air from the intake. Given that the air is already boosted by the turbocharger, there is only a slim chance fuel would ever make it inside your compressor. I believe someone else already mentioned the air dryer. You could inspect the exhaust side dryer for fuel residue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
