Good afternoon,

     after opening the "brake line purge valve" on my pre-fligh

inspection, the valve would not re-seat and continued to leak air.

This created issues, as after taxing, I had little pressure left to

get the gear up (the gear and main pressure came up fairly quickly in

flight).  Afterwards, we disconnected the airlines and removed the

blue bottle.  Cleaned/flushed it all up, checked it with air, and it

still leaked.  On dis-assembly, it appears that the valve seat and

mating parts are corroded.  Air also appears to be leaking, albeit

less, out the valve opener (dial). So, are there replacement parts or

mods available?



Thanks,



Phil Nicholson

Contact me off list.  We have a stainless steel  mod to correct this problem.   You can use this mod ONLY if the valve in your QL-17 snot valve is the type which is NOT welded to the bottle.   Give me a call 509-826-4610.

  Best
