Topping up Nitrogen filled tyres

[Hydrocarbon]

I got unlimited top up too! Why are you guys paying?

 

At my old company can pump free Nitrogen too. Got own compressor and tanks, so just set up the charge, wait lunch hour nobody see, and just pump.

 

Just too bad I have no car, haha! But can use the compressed nitro / compressed air for other things too, like cleaning interior of company vehicles, or launching projectiles like missiles like that. A bit childish, but fun to play with.

 

Anyone wanna go work at my old company? Free Nitro, haha..

U get free nitro fr yr tires?

 

I got free nitrogen top up as well at the ws I change my rims n tyres.. can go as many times as u like...

Stamford Tyres in Jurong has free nitrogen, there is a sign which says for customers only but so far I've never seen the staff stop people who just drive in and top up.

if its not the regular tires they sell, its most probably a free rider.ST will not make a fuss out of petty things I have seen them talking to driver who pumped half way and drive away. Maybe embarrassed especially in front of other drivers around the workshop.

It depends on the ST outlet.

really will leak and must top up?

 

last time i checked like once a month, the pump just ting once or twice then stopped. i also dunno if it was due to the process i tried to connect the pump (usually got this pssst sound before the connector got attached)

 

then i got lazy.. for the past year bochap.. the tyres still looked okay.

just normal air.

Mine tire shop offer free n2 plus rotation

Must be joke to offer nitrogen gas for road tyres. This idea original for aeroplanes due to high altitudes and temp.

For road tyres, most important is dry compressed air.

 

Somehow I feel petrol kiosk air not dry. Maybe never install dryer.

I paid abt that but i get free unlimited top ups so spread over several years.....its not ex to me.

 

Something like maint free battery. Cost a bit more but saves me time n trouble.

 

If it is one time payment, then I think it is fine and acceptable.

 

However, if it is every time, then I think it is expensive.

So far all i know is either u buy their tires or make one time payment fr unlimited top ups.

Other reasons for high moisture content is due to poorly installed air pipes and low quality and quantity of oil filters and air dryers. Since they are provided free of charge there is nothing much to complaint.

You are right that its just an ordinary air compressor with no air dryer.Which petrol kiosk will drain water from its air tank daily?

Nitrogen is really just a gimmick that tyre shops try to make u feel u are getting something better/more from them.,

I used to feel that way too b4 i pumped nitro.

 

After i tried...i find it much more convenient. I dun need to specially go to a petrol pump nearby when my tires r cold just to top up air every week.

 

I get my tires chked n topped up at e place which i pump nitro every 2-3 months only.

 

Saves me a lot of time n trouble.

My WS pump nitrogen when I service the car.

In between servicing, I pump tyre at the normal petrol kiosk with air.

Is this ok?

I prefer to just keep pumping nitro to get as much oxygen n other gasses out if e tire.

 

Cos when e pressure drops..its mostly e oxygen that seeps out. So after u pump a few times....u gonna hv almost 100% nitro n e pressure wil hardly drop anymore.

 

If u keep pumping air....yr pressure wil keep dropping every couple of weeks.

 

Defeats e purpose of pumping nitro in e first place.
