This is Educational from Mat at the House of Hack...
Joe,
Thanks for the quick response... ill be looking forward to the new bags when they come out....
in response to the "check valves" ... might be a misunderstanding what im asking.
alot of people , including our shop dont just use Check valves for Compressors....
granted a checkvalve on a compressor is a must... but we also use the check valves between the air tank and Valves . due to the fact most Valves run off of pressure, so when the air psi is low in the air tank , the air wont backflow from the bags into the valves and into the low tank causing the ride to loose height... so what we do is run check valves (perfer 3/8 or 1/2) before each fill valve (usually 4 of them) to eleminate the backflow or pressure lost ...
thats why i ask and also alot of people want the bigger check valves....
hope that help some.....
thanks for your time Joe!!

Mat, Thank you. This is the first I have ever been aware of backflow from the valves into the tank. I will order 3/8" and 1/2" CheckValves. The cost will be much lower than what you are paying now (under $7) 2-position valves apparently use tank pressure to keep them closed.
