    I tried to fill up a friend's car which was low and it sat there for like 15 or 20 minutes and I think he ended up losing air. Tack on that the 12v cable isn't long enough to do your own tires and it just wasn't worth keeping. I don't get many requests to fill up basketballs and bike tires. :)

    I also keep a jump box in my truck. When I need a new one I will get one which also has a compressor and throw my cheap one away.

    Why not convert your AC pump into a air pump ??? . This was a very popular set-up in the late 80's and worked very well .you'll have 150 to 200 psi air pressure

    Viair family of products. I use the 88P, file for airing 4 stock tires 20->35. Others like 300P or the 400 series. Hooks to battery and uses enough amps to require running the engine at the time.

    Boom.

    Proof we are all degenerates. We had it all figured out in the last century. This is actually really interesting. Explains how they kept fuel out of the tires. It’s not what you think.

    True. Only the most advanced humans have the technology required for a spark plug tire pump.

    If you're looking for a mechanically driven air compressor vs a plug in electric one....

    You may as well fab up a bracket and find a belt to drive an old A/C compressor that had it's oil contained in itself vs circulated with the refrigerant.

    Or get a Vmac setup. Our field trucks have them and they work great.

    unless you're planning to do more than inflate your tires, such as run air tools. Just get a nice electric pump. Spark plug inflators will probably fill your tires with gasoline too along with lighting your dash up like a Christmas tree everytime you use it

    I think fuel/no fuel should be selectable. Need to re-seat a bead? Grab a lighter and select fuel. Boom.

    I had one of those years ago. I preferred to use a standard tire pump. Loaned it to a fellow who had a flat, after he refused a hand pump. Also have a two cylinder electric tire pump now.
