hmm...about the ideas of accually using ENGINE compression to inflat the tire, know this subject has been broached before, but, then they were accually talking about building compressors out of engines, so..
anyhow, the little gadgets like the one guy has <and Muir describes> uses OUTSIDE AIR to fill tire. unlike say,m a compression tester, and a tire valve fitting. The later would introduce into your tire the SAME mizture of fuel you use to dirve your car...think about this one for a momnt, gas, air, heat....poof...bye bye tire...anyhow... just my 3 cents again... -- !...........................
