What else can I help you with?
A parking brake system is not required if your service brakes are fully?
A parking brake system is not required if your service brakes are fully self-locking. Air brake systems (on semis, for instance) hold the brakes open only when air is supplied. If you blow the air the brakes lock under spring pressure.
What cause the 5-15 pounds air loss during air brake testing?
Air being charged to the brake system. When you pull the brake valve, the air in those lines gets purged. When you release the brakes, it has to refill those lines and chambers.
What brake pedal is the cause of air being in the brake system?
The brake pedal has nothing to do with it. If air is in the system then bleed the brakes.
Can air be used inside the brake system of an automobile?
Only if it's an air brake system. Otherwise, the presence of air in a hydraulic brake system would not be a good thing, at all.
Air in brake lines?
Then you need to bleed the brake system to remove the air.
What is a dual air brake system?
A two brake system, one operates the front brakes and one operates the back brakesWell it depends on what the previous answer is referring to; But when it comes to large class A commercial vehicles the following apply:A. A dual air brake system has two separate air brake systems which use a single set of brake controlsB. A dual air brake system has two separate air brake systems, the first system is called the primary system. The other is called the secondary system.C. A dual air brake system has two separate air brake systems, each system has its own air tanks, hoses, lines, etc..D. A dual air brake system has two separate air brake systems, both systems supply air to the trailer if there is one.If you see this question on a CDL written test and the answers are like these and then they have an E. All of the above, the answer is E.
Why would your brake pedal feel soft when you press it?
Air in the brake system. You need to bleed the air out of the system.

Do air brakes use brake fluid?
No, they use air pressure or actually the lack of air pressure to stop the vehicle. The brakes are fully on until pressure builds up in the tank releasing the brakes. When you push the brake pedal this removes air from the system and applies the brakes.
What causes air loss in the primary reservoir when brake is held down on a air brake system?
You'll have an initial loss of pressure in the primary tank, simply because that air is being used to charge the service chambers of the brake cans... a transmission line to the foot valve (pedal or treadle valve, depending on the mounting) transmits air from the foot valve to a relay valve... that air actuates a plunger which opens up the lines to the brake chambers with air already charged into a feeder line. If it continues, then you have an leak either in the service chamber of one or more brake chambers, or a leak in the air line somewhere in the primary air system.
What is a brake bleeder used for?
Brake bleeding is technique used on a hydraulic brake system in order to purge the brake lines of any air bubbles. Removing air bubbles allows for the brake system to function properly.
How do you get the air out of the brake lines in a 91 escort?
Bleed the brake system.
