AS18

[Joee159]

Can someone pls help me with my airbrush compressor. I've had this for some time and it's the AS18 compressor. The moisture trap isn't doing what it should and is letting water spray out of my airbrush, I can't find out how to clean the moisture trap or how to remove the clear plastic cover
Please help!!!!!!

Can you post a pic?

Have any ideas on how to fix?

At the bottom is where you empty the moisture trap. You should just have to loosen the knurled thumb screw.

Then by the look of it you remove the clear bowl by removing the black nut...

Is it a second hand compressor?

Looks to me some oil and water is getting in there, unless it's algae. The gunk may have blocked the outlet hole if you have never cleaned it before. Although if you increase the regulator pressure to max It should blow out once you loosen the bottom fitting. Fridgy is on it. The other thing is it actually vertical. It doesn't look like it in the pic.
