As you begin to reduce the cost of driving your car, you may want to find free air for your tires. By keeping your tires inflated, you can save on gas and your tires will last longer. You will also have a better driving experience.
The cost of owning a vehicle is immense in itself. There are other expenses that you will have to pay: car payments, insurance, regular maintenance, and gas. It is possible that you will be spending several thousand dollars a year to drive your car.
You also have the cost of putting air in your tires every month or so. This is why it is beneficial to get free air for your tires. It will save you money and help you keep your car in good shape.
Where to Get Free Air at WawaIf you are interested in getting free air for your tires, you should visit your local Wawa. There are a variety of different locations throughout the US, so you should be able to find one close to you. The Wawa brand is a rapidly expanding chain of gas stations and convenience stores. There are 800 locations, and all of them offer free air.
However, even if you typically associate Wawa with the Northeast, the chain has been making inroads in Florida for a long time. The gas stations that are currently operating are in New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Florida. All you would need to do is find the closest Wawa and take advantage of their free air.
How to Fill Up Tires With AirIt is really quite easy.
The first thing you would need to do is unscrew the cap on the tire. Then place the hose connection of the air compressor on the tire air portal. Afterwards, you need to fill the tube until it is filled to the desired psi. Then, lastly, put the cap back on.
You should not be worried about how long it takes to fill up your tires. As long as the whole process is done correctly, it usually takes less than 15 minutes to fill all four tires. This time includes how long it should approximately take you to drive down to the gas station.

If I change wheels, do I need to balance them every season?
Inflating a tire in the city is not a problem. There will always be a thrifty car enthusiast nearby who will lend a compressor.
In extreme cases, you can drive to the nearest auto parts store and buy this useful device. But if the need to pump up the wheel caught on a long journey, on a deserted track, you will have to use your ingenuity.
A very banal way is to turn to professionals, that is, truck drivers. The fact is that any truck with pneumatic brakes can supply dried and purified air with high pressure through a hose that a thrifty truck driver always has with him.
Many gas stations now have tire inflation points, and perhaps the easiest way is to hitch a wheel to it and then return to your car in the same way. If all of the above did not work, then read about the tricks that we personally tested for effectiveness:
Attaching a can (any) to the nipple is not so difficult. The pressure inside the cylinder is 1.8-2.8 bar. It is important that the contents do not dissolve the rubber and do not harden, such as building foam.
Here, of course, compressed air canisters are good for blowing, for example, office equipment.
But the inner volume of a wheel of a small class car is about 20-25 liters. For pumping, you will need several boxes of cans. Unacceptably!
It is possible to connect the tire valve to the brake master cylinder connection after draining the reservoir. After that, we begin to press the brake pedal in the same way as is usually done when bleeding the brakes when replacing the brake fluid. To inflate the wheel, it will take a gigantic number of clicks. Unacceptably!
Connect the hose to the air path after the turbocharger. The boost pressure in the line between the compressor and the intake valves of conventional (non-sport) engines is not enough to inflate the wheel. No matter how you gasp - unacceptable!
Advanced car enthusiasts know the method of transferring the bead ring over the hump of the rim with the help of an explosion of fuel vapors. The Internet is full of videos on this subject.
It is usually advised to unscrew the spool from the valve. I wonder what will happen if this is not done? We need to keep up the pressure. We conducted an experiment and got an unsatisfactory result. With this method, it is possible to provide a very small pressure in the wheel - about 0.2 bar. The method really allows you to brilliantly cope with the task of transferring the sidewall through the hump, but it is not suitable for pumping!
And this is perhaps the most unusual way to inflate a tire. After conducting an experiment with a large 6-kilogram fire extinguisher, it was possible to raise the pressure by a completely ridiculous amount of a couple of tenths of a bar. And this despite the inverted spool. Everything around was covered with a rather nasty powder. Unacceptably!
The average car owner usually has a powder-type fire extinguisher in the trunk. A powder fire extinguisher of a rather large volume worked very badly.
It was not possible to pump up the wheel.

If you can attach a hose to the exhaust pipe, then you can inflate the wheel in this way. The engine is able to provide a pressure of two or more bars with a sealed exhaust system and if you “give it a gas”. The method is acceptable, but only as a last resort. The fact is that with this method, the catalytic converter, and even the corrugation of the exhaust system, may suffer.
The most difficult thing is to achieve tightness of the junction of a thin hose with an exhaust pipe. A variety of caps from bottles, washers, water squeegees can go into business. What will be at hand. Electrical tape will help seal the connection.

If you want to pump up a wheel, jack up the car! Debunking the Myth
Using a hose, you can transfer part of the air from other wheels to the one we need to inflate. The method is complicated, because the valve mechanism will interfere with such a procedure. If we turn out the spools, we risk leaving several wheels without air. But even if you manage to get by with minimal losses, the pressure in all the wheels will turn out to be insufficient. In the best case, 75% of the pressure will remain in the wheels. Without preliminary preparation, which consists in assembling a hose with two tips like those installed on the compressor, we do not recommend trying this method!
***
Alternative ways to inflate tires are complicated, inconvenient, require advance preparation and can damage your vehicle.
Therefore, we advise you to always have a serviceable and inflated spare tire. And just in case, you should carry a portable electric compressor with you. It will be useful not for yourself, but for a less thrifty car enthusiast.

During the existence of tires, people have repeatedly tried to make it easier for themselves to inflate them with air.
And, it seems, everything has already been invented. But there are always enthusiasts who find simple and non-standard ways to solve a problem as old as the automotive world.
Maxim Stroker
It would seem that everything: in the field of automotive compressors, the limit of development has already been reached and we can put an end to it. But at the same time, “a couple of questions” remain for such devices. Let's start with performance. Most of them, even a relatively small wheel of the 16-17th “radius” pumps up for quite a long time. Powerful and productive pumps are many times more expensive than the average high-quality car compressor. However, they are much more massive.
In addition, if the wheel turned out to be disassembled, then it will not be possible to pump it up with a standard car compressor due, again, to its low productivity. Air will be bled into the gaps between the rubber and the disc - its pressure is not enough to straighten and press the edges of the tire to the rim.
It is especially sad to learn about this nuance during an unplanned wheel repair somewhere in nature, a few kilometers from the nearest road or housing. But the need for fiction is cunning, as they say. To quickly inflate a wheel of any size will help a thing that is necessarily present in any car. This is ... a regular car carbon dioxide fire extinguisher!
True, in order to apply it to tire inflation, you will need to prepare in advance. First, you will need to build a special adapter hose between the outlet of the fire extinguisher and the “nipple” of the wheel.
forum.bratsk.org
For example, from a hose from an old or failed compressor and a threaded sleeve of a suitable diameter - to be screwed into the fire extinguisher fitting. Carrying this “adaptation” with you is much more convenient than a car compressor, at least in terms of its compactness. A standard automobile OU-2 contains about two kilograms of liquid carbon dioxide under a pressure of more than 5 megapascals.
