Too much water in my air!

Not sure if this is allowed but I figured this community would know....I have a home shop setup with a 1998 fadal 3016....my issue is that I have had to frequently empty the water separator that is mounted on the "in" side of the air dryer. I understand this is before the dryer is pulling the water out, but i installed my compressor up in a stairway so i need a ladder to reach it, do I have it hooked up correctly? What is a better way??? Why is there a separator when that is the dryers job?

Thanks for the help!

Refilling foaming hand soap with regular cheap soap

I once had a girlfriend who bought expensive foaming soap ($6 for a 10floz bottle), I noticed the soap in the bottle was very watery, therefore the soap went fast. I buy the large cheap bottles of soft soap from Walmart, I think its under $5 for 50floz...so I started refilling the foaming ones, the trick is getting the water to soap ratio right. I add about 30% soap and then fill it slowly with COLD water, so it doesnt foam as much. Then I shake it to mix it up and foams just like it should, sometimes needs an occasional shake but besides that it works great. Since I have been doing this i bought a few flavors of soft soap and i just swap them during fill ups if I get sick of one. I cannot remember when I last had to buy hand soap

1995 camaro z28 5.7l

So I noticed my afr gauge surges even when I am holding the gas steady. This happens in every gear at every speed. It runs totally fine except when I reverse then hold the clutch in (rolling back still) afr gauge Max's out and it sounds like its about to stall but it never does, quick blip of the throttle and its fine.

Any ideas are appreciated. First car I ever bought. It was an auto but I did the 6speed swap, I tuned the car for a stock m6 car so that in theory should have fixed my issue with reverse.

Thanks again!
