Yes, humidity can play a factor. But there's nothing magic about nitrogen - except that it's the cheapest and most readily available dry gas. For shop use, adding a dryer to the compressor is cheaper, easier and less bulky than a N2 tank. Of course, none of this matters on a Vanagon, where N2 adds no value. |
