Are there any issues with using the cig lighter to power a 12V tire inflator? Some of the reviews of inflators mention blowing fuses, but these appear to refer to newer cars. Should the car engine be running when using the inflator? Anyone with any advice about using or not using this?

No problems using a cheap tire compressor on my Toyota. For the 914 I connect it straight to the battery cause the lighter cage is too big.
They like the engine running as the IR drop on the cables is big, and the last thing you want after a flat is a dead battery. I like Elliot's idea. If you can't use a scuba tank, just buy the CO2 cartriges used by cyclists, like 200 of those (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Now seriously, you can use a fire extinguisher tank. |
