Thread: Can I use a innertube?

Untill I can afford the quiet compressor I want can I use a car/truck tyre as a air reservoir? what airlines, connectors and regulator/filter shud I start shopping around for that can reduce 110psi down to 10psi?
Thanks for your time and oppions.

You mean a air storage take like you use to fill up tires?
If so no it won't work very well it won't hold enough air.

Thanks for the reply don, my idea was to take a wheel and tire off a small truck that's being scrapped and use the air from that (properly filtered) to power a brush. At a rough guess I'd say they easy hold over 100ltr's at over 120psi and totally silent. Quiet is important and it'd be usefull to have a air surply I could roll to where I wanted it when working on site. Even if I only got 15 to 20 mins working time out of it then it would be worth me doing it.

I believe Badger sells an adapter for that
I've never tried it myself but can't image its going to provide you with much PSI for any length of time

Try it and let us know how it worked

Thanks for the tip about the badger adapter, i'll ask my surplyer if he can order me one and if I can grab one i'll post the out come.

Hi I had seen on a web site that they have a special adapter for used for the tire value stem the price was like around $5.00 You can check on TCP Global.com I hope this helps. They also said that you would need to have the tire source to be at least 40 pounds of pressure in it.
