Nitrogen
I cannot comment on the running cooler claim but the one that wasn't
mentioned is that Nitrogen is 'dry' and won't promote rusting of the wheel and freezing in the valve. 'They" say the water initially in the wheel will migrate out over time as it is vaporized by road heat. But then, what do I know.... -- Billy_Ray@SPAM.fuse.net (remove SPAM) 2002 Jeep WJ 4 Liter Automatic Sharing is why we are all here....... or should be. .. |

DRY air offers most of the benefits of N2 at much lower cost. Run your compressor, let the tank cool thoroughly, and drain the tank from the bottom. Steel wheels should be painted inside with a zinc chromate primer, and a good catalyzed urethane paint if possible. Otherwise, use Rustoleum. I have painted insides of engine blocks with Glyptal, which works great, but I don't know if it's the thing for wheels since they don't get hot enough to cure it. |

Re: Nitrogen
Of course, those of us that use an air compressor, use an inline
water and oil separator to keep form corroding our tools or shooting condensed water over our new paint job: http://www.----------.com/temp/waterOilSeparator.jpg God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O mailto:-------------------- Bret Ludwig wrote: > > Phooey. > > Water in a tire will stay exactly where it is. > > DRY air offers most of the benefits of N2 at much lower cost.

Re: Nitrogen
When I need to raise the pressure I just stop by the tire dealer on the way
home and have them bump the pressure to 40 psi (hot) and then I bleed the tires to where I want them before I go to bed (cold) I have noticed a consistent 4 psi difference in hot/cold pressure. They do not charge for Nitrogen addition. -- Billy_Ray@SPAM.fuse.net (remove SPAM) 2002 Jeep WJ 4 Liter Automatic Sharing is why we are all here....... or should be. .. "L.W.
