Yeah there is something like air brake antifreeze but do you have a water trap on your system?

Back when mine was a daily driver the valves used to freeze up on me and let the car air up so I kept a small pipe in the trunk and a light tap on each of them was all it took to free them up.
I wanted to use some of the air brake anti-freeze but was worried about the valves not sealing shut when I needed them to, but now that I think about it, semi trucks wouldn't use the stuff if their brakes depended on it lol.

A cap full of air-brake antifreeze in the tank will do the trick.

Ya I have a water trap but its freezing at the check valve and sence its freezing there will that air brake antifreeze even help?

So your compressors won't fill the tank because the check valve is froze? Maybe put a few drops of the antifreeze stuff in the water trap so it goes through the check valve into the tank and doesn't let it freeze up.

well would I half to put the water trap on the compressor then the line? I have it at the tank now that the line runs into it
