Garth, Hopefully the sensing lines on your fire pumps are full of water as do those on any hydraulic pilot lines you install. And those on your pnematic pilot lines have compressed air which having been heated during compression per Boyle's Law will then cool and cause the water vapor prevalent in all air will condense and precipitate as water droplets.

Ron, fortunately there is never water running through our sensing lines so there is never a chance that such build-up could ever occur in sensing lines.
