Re: Finding air for the tires Reply #25 – October 23, 2016, 01:05:30 pm we actually did all 4 tires on our car and then made it through 5 tires on the LD when it shut down and it's STILL hot.Maybe it's just not geared for handling that many tires within a short period of time???
Re: Finding air for the tires Reply #26 – October 23, 2016, 02:11:52 pm OK....we figured it out! We needed to let it COOL DOWN after about 10 minutes of use. False alarm but possible lesson for anyone else.Thanks
Re: Finding air for the tires Reply #27 – October 23, 2016, 02:12:05 pm Hi BJO. Years ago, I too tried to use a truck stop tire inflator. After feeding in coins, I found the inflator topped out at about 50 psi, and actually let air out of my tire. The hassle of finding air pumps that worked and the need for checking the tires cold led to my purchase of air horns. The tank was too small, and the compressor too wimpy, even though they included a hose for inflating tires. Ended up with a 7 gallon aluminum tank under the motorhome, and the MV-50 compressor. I fill the tank at home, almost never use the air horns (bothers the cats). The MV-50 is rarely used, but has worked well when needed for over 8 years. As for the Husky web description, saying that the gauge displays up to 130 psi, isn't saying that the pump can achieve 130 psi. It doesn't actually say what pressure it can reach. I've had good luck with the large numbers on the Michellin MN-12279 tire gauge. Available at Amazon, Wal-Mart and other locations. Back-lit in blue for night or dim light use. Accuracy of about 1 percent. The gauge has a button operated night light (white LED) to find the tire valve. I also use V2B valve caps. I've got four gauges and the readings agree with each other.
