moisture prevention for GX-E-CS2

[DarryH]

I picked up a pre-owned compressor. This is a GX-E-CS2. No manual or instructions.
Looks like foam filter in then handle to catch moisture.
Is there a better moisture prevention system for this compressor??
Also, the fill probe fits loosely in the bottles. Just need new O'rings????
Seems like it might be hard to line up the hole in the probe to the hole in the tank.
Is there a trick to this???

I did get what I need to run AC and DC.
Thanks
Good Shootin!!

I can't speak highly enough of installing a silica gel air dryer before your air filter on the compressor intake. It should be pretty large and easily taken apart, you'll be baking the gel every so often to dry it. I got one off Amazon for an ozone generator. The less moisture going thru the entirety of the compressor, the better.

It's wild isn't it? The double o-ring fill probe hole is cool, the force is equal on both sides so it doesn't want to just shoot out of the hole.

You can find a multitude of threads here about moisture control, and filtration methods.
We all have to deal with it. Environmental factors will greatly impact your personal needs. I'm often dealing with 50-80% humidity so my filtration needs are greater than someone in an less humid environment.
You'll go thru fill probe o-rings regularly, the same for your foster fitting o-rings, they're cheap. No need to line up the probe hole with hole in tank. Air surrounds the entire fill probe sealing o-rings, and filling tank or gun.
