Nope...slow, fastest way a CO2 tank, Power Shot 400 Regulator and Long Haul 0-160 psi liquid analog tire infiltrator , Jantz 4x4 J-flaters . Replace the small air chucks with 3/8" ones and you will fill 4ea 40's faster than other methods filling 35's.

Same for letting air out the Jantz's dump air quick. If your rims have 2 stems use the other one for your guage while dropping air.

I saw that but the 1/4" fittings and things just haphazardly cobbled together led me to turn the video off early. Jchappies (member here) built a similar tool but he used larger hosing which let to faster fill rates. It still won't touch c02 though.

can you shoot air from co2 through this to inflate all 4 tires?

I would think the bottleneck would be the valve-stem, not the 1/4 hose/fittings?

also i would add, my Dad has the same thing, made from 3/8 hose and we air down in the exact same time. did so in our Last episode.


P.S. not sure why you would shut it off finding out fitting size? just do the same method with the size fittings you want.

Not related to pumping tires but more of an observation on CO2.

If is such an evil gas that create a greenhouse effects, why is so easy and cheap to get?

Ought to be regulated/banned like R12, do you think?

Just a though.

The chucks are where you hit the bottleneck. It's got to be a free flow into the stem. Putting 1/4" line everywhere just reduces the volume you can pump. You can do c02, again, jchappies (and another member here) did it. They were airing up/ down 37's.

Honestly i love being able to set it and walk away more-so than being a few mins quicker with CO2. co2 still requires you to stand and squat at each tire multiple times. also it is inefficient.

You guys just keep feeding the fire. Good ole Ben here just comes here to post his YouTube vids and promote his channel. He doesn't care to add any further value to our forum. He'll now tell me I'm a troll and that I'm stalking him.
