You want to see what happens when a fluid filled tire starts emptying
itself while going down the road at 30MPH plus, and it hits the
insulators on a transformer pole!!!!!
Great big firecracker about 30 feet up!!

A Simmer paddle pump works fine. Unscrew the valve stem from the tube and
use and adapter to go to garden hose.

Scroll down to S466
Pump into a 55 gal drum and reverse when done with your repair. I saw a set
of 8N sized tires on Minneapolis Craigslist last week. Have fun!

OK, here's how NOT to do it. Remove entire valve core, its big enough to put
air blow gun right down barrel with room to spare. Tape up air gun and valve
stem so they are tight against a 3/4 sweat Tee. Clamp hose onto other side
of Tee and go to a barrel. Apply air. Works great, until tire blows out in
your face.

At least it's not -20. I changed a tire with fluid in it when it was damn
cold and it's almost instant frostbite when you get wet with liquid that
cold. I'm just getting dug out from the 18" of wet heavy snow we had
yesterday.

Water some plants with it, then get some new "fluid" from your garden hos,
