Re: Air tank to refill tires
What price range and product name are you talking about, I haven't
made a cheap one last through on tire.

That sounds different from the one Bill and I am familar with. Bill posted
a link to a picture of his a few messages back. I don't own one of these,
but saw someone use one a few years ago. The one I saw was just like the one
Bill posted.
Bill's sucks the ambient air from the engine compartment via the little
"slots" you see on the left side of this picture:
http://www.----------.com/pumper.jpg
Presumably, there's a check valve that opens and closes allowing the outside
air into the cylinder while the piston moves downward. At the bottom of the
piston's stroke, the valve closes off the "slots" allowing the piston to "push"
the air into the hose on the upward compression stroke -- thus filling your
tires.
If you didn't get the air from the outside, you'd be getting it from the
intake manifold. Of course, your tires would also get a charge of the fuel
mixture along with the air...
