Question Big truck question
Air Brakes I have taken the foot valve apart for the air brakes. I need to know what to treat the diaphram with so it does not dry out. It shows no sign of being bad and can not find a replacement so I need to keep it in good shape until I reassemble. Thanks

Air tool oil would probably work well. At the least, be sure to avoid WD40 and other petroleum based oils. They're detrimental to rubber products.
