Shut air valve creates a vacuum, preventing major loss. Posted By: Gary, Santana 2023A, Milwaukee Date: 3/17/08 2:20p.m. Report: outside forum guidelines In Response To: reasons for keeping valve closed. (link) (Paul Germain, 2023 C) Besides, if my entire (inner) CB trunk is ever exposed to air... hell, I want to say that I'd have to already BE knocked down, but... then... I think that, even knocked down, I do believe that the trunk would be under water. I suppose if half the tank drained while on her side... well, I wouldn't have to worry about her going down with all that air in there, eh? Hmm, maybe even be able to 'ease' her back upright smoother, if not easier? Worse case scenario, nice floatsam to hold on to!
