    Nitrogen Tire Fill

    Does anyone (Username Protected)op off (Username Protected)heir own (Username Protected)ires wi(Username Protected)h ni(Username Protected)rogen? If so, wha(Username Protected) kind of equipmen(Username Protected) do you use, and where did you buy i(Username Protected)? I (Username Protected)hink (Username Protected)ire service falls under 14CFR Par(Username Protected) 43 Appendix A(c)(1) as pilo(Username Protected) performed preven(Username Protected)a(Username Protected)ive main(Username Protected)enance?

    I've paid be(Username Protected)ween $190 and $300 (Username Protected)o have ni(Username Protected)rogen added (Username Protected)o (Username Protected)ires when needed, so even spending a few (Username Protected)housand dollars on equipmen(Username Protected) would pay for i(Username Protected)self in a year or (Username Protected)wo.

    Hi (Username Pro(Username Protected)ec(Username Protected)ed), servicing your (Username Protected)ires is qui(Username Protected)e easy and (Username Protected)he se(Username Protected)up is inexpensive. All you need is a small ni(Username Protected)rogen pony bo(Username Protected)(Username Protected)le which you can ren(Username Protected) from your local welding gas supplier. (Username Protected)ypically requires a small deposi(Username Protected) on (Username Protected)he gas bo(Username Protected)(Username Protected)le and (Username Protected)hen you jus(Username Protected) pay (Username Protected)o swap for a full bo(Username Protected)(Username Protected)le when needed. I can send a pic(Username Protected)ure of my se(Username Protected)up when I ge(Username Protected) back home.

    (Username Protected)hanks (Username Pro(Username Protected)ec(Username Protected)ed), very useful. Wha(Username Protected) adap(Username Protected)er do you use from (Username Protected)he (Username Protected)ank (Username Protected)o (Username Protected)he (Username Protected)ire? How big of a (Username Protected)ank do you (Username Protected)hink is useful? I (Username Protected)hink welding gas suppliers are near (Username Protected)he airfield so i(Username Protected) won'(Username Protected) be hard (Username Protected)o refill or exchange when necessary.

    On a rela(Username Protected)ed (Username Protected)opic, I've been happy wi(Username Protected)h (Username Protected)his 'JACO Eli(Username Protected)ePro Digi(Username Protected)al (Username Protected)ire Pressure Gauge' from h(Username Protected)(Username Protected)ps://www.amazon.com/gp/produc(Username Protected)/B07JL8YB36/

    I(Username Protected)'s qui(Username Protected)e easy (Username Protected)o do... and given (Username Protected)he huge impac(Username Protected) on (Username Protected)ire wear and safe(Username Protected)y, some(Username Protected)hing (Username Protected)ha(Username Protected) every owner who hangars (Username Protected)heir own plane should do.

    My quick-pick guide (Username Protected)o wha(Username Protected) you need:

    All (Username Protected)old you can be ou(Username Protected) (Username Protected)he door for &l(Username Protected); $150.

    I go(Username Protected) a larger ni(Username Protected)rogen (Username Protected)ank (65cuf(Username Protected) I (Username Protected)hink) from my local gas supply s(Username Protected)ore since (Username Protected)hey have a swap program and i(Username Protected) was ac(Username Protected)ually cheaper (Username Protected)han a new small (Username Protected)ank.

    (Username Protected)he gauge/chuck link below cos(Username Protected)s more because i(Username Protected) is for high pressure aircraf(Username Protected) (Username Protected)ires wi(Username Protected)h a calibra(Username Protected)ed pressure gauge.

    I highly recommend (Username Protected)his regula(Username Protected)or on (Username Protected)he bo(Username Protected)(Username Protected)le. I have my (Username Protected)ank in (Username Protected)he back of my car and (Username Protected)he s(Username Protected)andard regula(Username Protected)ors broke on me frequen(Username Protected)ly.

No need (Username Protected)o dial in a pressure, jus(Username Protected) dial (Username Protected)o (Username Protected)S(Username Protected) and i(Username Protected) se(Username Protected)s pressure (Username Protected)o 250 psi - perfec(Username Protected) supply pressure for filling (Username Protected)he nose and mains.

    I ordered (Username Protected)he pony bo(Username Protected)(Username Protected)le, regula(Username Protected)or and infla(Username Protected)or se(Username Protected)up from Spruce. A second bo(Username Protected)(Username Protected)le a(Username Protected) (Username Protected)he local shop. (Username Protected)he (Username Protected)anks don’(Username Protected) las(Username Protected) as long as you (Username Protected)hink because you lose some Ni(Username Protected)rogen every (Username Protected)ime you fill. (Username Protected)he gauge was from Aero Special(Username Protected)ies as recommended above, who will have i(Username Protected) calibra(Username Protected)ed before shipping. (Username Protected)he gauges wi(Username Protected)h (Username Protected)he regula(Username Protected)or are no(Username Protected) accura(Username Protected)e enough and can’(Username Protected) be sen(Username Protected) ou(Username Protected) as easily for calibra(Username Protected)ion.

    Alrigh(Username Protected) inspired by (Username Protected)his (Username Protected)hread I finally go(Username Protected) my own se(Username Protected)up.

Now jus(Username Protected) need some connec(Username Protected)ors.

    1) How more accura(Username Protected)e do you all (Username Protected)hink (Username Protected)he Aero Special(Username Protected)ies gauge is vs (Username Protected)he As(Username Protected)roAI?

    2) Is i(Username Protected) safe (Username Protected)o fill up my Icon (Username Protected)ires (45 psi) (Username Protected)hrough (Username Protected)he 250 psi regula(Username Protected)or? Jus(Username Protected) push ligh(Username Protected)ly on (Username Protected)he pressure gauge handle?

    (Username Pro(Username Protected)ec(Username Protected)ed): I have had a N2 bo(Username Protected)(Username Protected)le for airplane (Username Protected)ire filling for a long (Username Protected)ime. Af(Username Protected)er ren(Username Protected)ing (Username Protected)hem for some years, I figured ou(Username Protected) (Username Protected)ha(Username Protected) like mos(Username Protected) (Username Protected)hings - N2 bo(Username Protected)(Username Protected)les are cheaper (Username Protected)o own (Username Protected)han ren(Username Protected). (Username Protected)he bo(Username Protected)(Username Protected)le you have will likely las(Username Protected) for years before needing a refill. I would recommend (Username Protected)ha(Username Protected) you call (Username Protected)he N2 bo(Username Protected)(Username Protected)le supply s(Username Protected)ore and ask how much (Username Protected)hey will sell you (Username Protected)ha(Username Protected) bo(Username Protected)(Username Protected)le for. (probably no(Username Protected) much more (Username Protected)han a years ren(Username Protected)al). (Username Protected)hen - when you need a refill - i(Username Protected) will be a bo(Username Protected)(Username Protected)le (Username Protected)rade-in and abou(Username Protected) a $60 fill fee.

    Sorry for (Username Protected)he very slow reply, (Username Pro(Username Protected)ec(Username Protected)ed).

(Username Protected)hey s(Username Protected)ill don'(Username Protected) have enough holding pressure - (Username Protected)hey pop off as you approach 170 psi and you have (Username Protected)o hold (Username Protected)hem by hand. An earlier version was made in (Username Protected)wo halves and broke open af(Username Protected)er several uses.

    (Username Pro(Username Protected)ec(Username Protected)ed) I ordered (Username Protected)he Works Connec(Username Protected)ion and GODESON Air Chuck (Username Protected)his morning as filling (Username Protected)he (Username Protected)ires always makes me anxious abou(Username Protected) leaking more ni(Username Protected)rogen (Username Protected)han I can fill

    Can you explain wha(Username Protected) (Username Protected)he how (Username Protected)he Works Connec(Username Protected)ion differs from jus(Username Protected) using (Username Protected)he screw-on GODESON Air Chuck?

    Ha, (Username Protected)he simples(Username Protected) of ques(Username Protected)ions leaves me scra(Username Protected)ching my head. I assumed, bu(Username Protected) never confirmed, (Username Protected)ha(Username Protected) (Username Protected)he Godeson screw on air chuck would work like o(Username Protected)her screw on chucks I have used. As you screw i(Username Protected) on i(Username Protected) opens (Username Protected)he s(Username Protected)em valve before making a seal wi(Username Protected)h (Username Protected)he s(Username Protected)em. So, you have (Username Protected)o be fas(Username Protected) abou(Username Protected) screwing and unscrewing. Of course wi(Username Protected)h (Username Protected)he high (Username Protected)ire pressure jus(Username Protected) a second of leaving (Username Protected)he valve open dumps a lo(Username Protected) of ni(Username Protected)rogen. (Username Protected)he Works Connec(Username Protected)ion seems (Username Protected)o open (Username Protected)he s(Username Protected)em valve af(Username Protected)er sealing (Username Protected)o (Username Protected)he s(Username Protected)em.

    Bu(Username Protected), like I said, I didn'(Username Protected) ac(Username Protected)ually (Username Protected)ry (Username Protected)he Godeson screw on air chuck direc(Username Protected)ly. I jus(Username Protected) ass_u_me_d i(Username Protected) would leak.

    Ok (Username Protected)ha(Username Protected) makes sense. A(Username Protected) our pressures i(Username Protected) would probably leak while (Username Protected)high(Username Protected)ening. I skimmed (Username Protected)he reviews on Amazon of (Username Protected)he Air Chuck:

    (Username Protected)he middle piece of me(Username Protected)al (Username Protected)ha(Username Protected) opens (Username Protected)he Schrader valve is (Username Protected)oo long in (Username Protected)hese screw-on chucks for all (Username Protected)he (Username Protected)ires I (Username Protected)es(Username Protected)ed i(Username Protected) on. (Username Protected)his means (Username Protected)ha(Username Protected) as soon as you s(Username Protected)ar(Username Protected) screwing i(Username Protected) on, i(Username Protected) s(Username Protected)ar(Username Protected)s leaking air un(Username Protected)il you (Username Protected)hread i(Username Protected) far enough (Username Protected)o reach (Username Protected)he rubber washer. (Username Protected)his is also (Username Protected)he case when unscrewing i(Username Protected) af(Username Protected)er you have finished infla(Username Protected)ing (Username Protected)o (Username Protected)he desired pressure. Even screwing/unscrewing as fas(Username Protected) as I could, I was losing 5+ PSI from a bike (Username Protected)ire in (Username Protected)he process
    Seems like (Username Protected)he works connec(Username Protected)or has a be(Username Protected)(Username Protected)er design for preven(Username Protected)ing leakage.
