car tire pump uses gas or air

Which one do you choose for car tire pump using Nitrogen gas or air?

Lately nitrogen tire filling service or car tire pump continues to mushroom . One of them in Fuel Filling Stations in some areas .

The user of car tire pump , either vehicle two-wheeled or four have been many who know the benefits of using nitrogen instead of regular air .

One of the benefits of nitrogen filled tires , nitrogen does not heat up quickly because it has a larger number of molecules that are not easily deflated and heat .



describes the benefits of automotive analysts try to use nitrogen than ordinary wind .

According to him , if the tire using nitrogen bantingannya suspension feels softer , than the common cold contents .

This is because the nitrogen gas to maintain the elasticity of the rubber tires so that flexibility is maintained.

When stored longer , the tire should not directly attached to the floor
Use of nitrogen as a replacement tire , probably better solution that is more durable tires and get driving comfort . There is some value plus the use of nitrogen .

" Nitrogen gas was able to close the pores of the rubber tire well . This makes the tire pressure last a long time . But if you do not use the motor a few days and then stored on the floor where the air pressure will rapidly decline , " .

According to him , if the motor is allowed to stand a few days , the nitrogen gas inside the tire will quickly go out because of the influence of the outside air is cooler and the effect of gravity .

" We recommend that the motor home in the parking lot and will not be used for a few days it is better to use a standard 2 or section tire propped up with cardboard . Was to avoid direct contact with the floor , " .

Furthermore , for the first- use nitrogen , tire pressure will be faster because there may still be reduced oxygen pressure in the second dipengisian new tire will feel normal . You'll want to check if at least 2 weeks for the first use of nitrogen .

As for the usual pneumatic tire has a small molekuk heat so quickly and easily create a layer of rust on steel wire contained within the tire . It happened because the regular wind consists of senyama oxygen and water .

Well , so it's up Otolovers everything to select which one , fill the tires with regular air or nitrogen ? But be careful when filling nitrogen , since nitrogen mixture began to wander a lot . It's good to fill all Otolovers in place reliable .
