ABSTRACT:
A fluid line deicer specifically designed for use on air brake lines of a tractor trailer includes an alcohol storage tank provided with fittings for engagement between the tractor air supply line and the trailer brake lines. The alcohol storage tank may be provided with a pressure gage for monitoring pressure in the system and a sight glass for monitoring the alcohol level of the tank. In use, when operating in cold conditions where brake line freeze up is encountered, alcohol is added through a screw on cap to the alcohol tank so that it may be introduced into the brake lines. The alcohol absorbs any moisture and thaws any ice deposits in the brake lines and prevents ice up.
