Well I can't agree with Paul (Dreamscape) enough! Not that I know anything of course! Your MC8 should  have 4 air tanks! Of course it also will have a drain at the right rear access door mounted on the inner fenderwell for draining the "ping" tank which is not one of the 4! Next will be the rear or wet tank which is located just in front of the drive axle in the center! It is mounted horizonally 0into the backside of the rear luggage bay wall. Then the next 2 are side beside behind the steer axle and mount verticaly. The next one is mounted up under the driver. As to how they drain really depends on whether or not the privious owner has changed then on

Thanks, I will check them to see how to purge them.

On the "if there is already antifreeze in the engine" statement, I meant versus having straight water in the engine. You have air suspension, don't go under the bus and drain the airtanks and get crushed. Wait until it warms up and have the air tank drains plumbed to the wheel wells if you think its an issue. Stay warm, don't wake up the bus right now, its to damn cold and you are not going anywhere anyway.
