Help at the filling station with tyre pressures?

Kalu

It plugs into the 12volt socket in my car DaisyAnne.

A word to the wise: it’s a good idea to run the engine whilst using the tyre inflation machine as it might flatten your battery.

A few years ago, ATS suggested I had my tyres filled with nitrogen (the preference for F1 tyres!) which they top up for me without charge every few months. I’m happy to tip for this service.

I just bend from the waist enough to place the pump attachment on the valve and depress the lever. No need to squat.

Yes it just plugs into where you would plug a phone charger etc.

What does the pump plug in to, please Kalu?

I keep my own plug in tyre pump in the garage. I may start charging friends and family who find it more convenient to drop in for a tyre check at - Kalu’s Garage. ?

My husband was checking the tires last week, I was sat in the car supervising ??, a lady pulled up along side and asked if he would help her, my son ( in his mid 20s ) said an elderly lady asked him the other week.

If you go into a tyre fitting shop like Kwikfit or similar I’m sure they would check the pressure.

i simply asked one how to use the machine i was unfamiliar with, had inserted a pound, but was just waved away y staff.
no good trying to argue, queue of people waiting to pay for fuel could turn ugly.
so i gave up.
i could use the old machines ok, but they've changed.

Any decent fuel station will inflate your tyres free of charge,although i do give the lad that has helped me every now and then a £2 tip .

haven't seen that for about 40 years.
are you in the countryside ?

We have our own tyre pump, plugs into the car, I can do it in the dry before I go out.

Thanks for your responses. Yes! I’ll try my service garage. Hadn’t thought of that. Doh!

I pop up to the garage that services my car and they do it for me.
