34. What is mixed with the air in an air brake system to diminish the freezing propensity of any moisture or ice present?
35. What could potentially happen if the mixture of moisture and oil accumulating in the supply tank passes into the entire air brake system?
36. Under what range of air pressure should a vehicle be driven?
37. What happens with the moisture collected in the air dryer of an air brake system?
