2003 BlueBird AARE, Front most sidways mounted Brakes Air tank.

Funny , wrong year listed above. Air Valve on the upper back left position from under the bus looking forward.
So, the Driver side of the tank.

Does Anybody know the Proper Name and or part number for replacement?

Or best trick to unstick.

If I thump it a couple of times with just my hand, I can get it to close.

But it is sticky.

Thanks

Might have to take it apart, or try to spray some brake cleaner into it to break up the gunk, spray some in there, push it in a few times, spray some more etc. Till it's moving like you think it should.

After spraying it and cleaning it, let it dry for a bit, and then re-thread everything and reinstall. Save you some money and not having to buy new parts for that.
