Still in the TM's and no luck. Anyone know where the forward most airline coming off the compressor manifold goes? Were talking about the one mounted to the engine driven compressor. I also see an air fitting on the top of the hydraulic reservoir. Wondering if the two should be connected, it just seems like a lot of pressure for the tank. Its on a M1078 with the 3126. Trying to load pics as well.

The one on the compressor is the fresh air intake. It should have a hose on it that runs up to the main air pipe that comes off the inboard side of the intake air filter. This is where the compressor gets filtered air from, you need to replace it ASAP Before dust kills your compressor...
the other piece on top of the hydraulic tank is a vent valve and there is usually a small hose connected to it and run up into the spare tire structure. You will find one just like it on top of the fuel tank, which should also have a hose running upward above any high water/fording depth...

Thanks. My fat finger and picture didn't do the question justice. There is a black, hard to see fitting behind the air intake to the left of the braided air governor lines. It is basically the first fitting on the air governor.

This is the only thing I can find and it doesnt tell me much.
Anyone?

That's just a vent.

Ok, well if it has a crimped cover like in Andy’s pic, I would say it is a vent. Does yours not have a crimped cover?
So I have answered my own question.
