In this review, the author shows a simple life hack with a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher. It can be useful to everyone who is driving.
However, to take advantage of this life hack, you need to carry a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher in the trunk, and this is an extra seat.
And, in fact, you will have to carry two fire extinguishers with you: one is carbon dioxide, the second is powder, which should be in the car by default.
What is the non-standard use of carbon dioxide fire extinguisher? The author uses it as a pump for pumping wheels.
It is advisable to have a compact pressure gauge with you to check the pressure in the wheel - it should be approximately in the range of 2.0-2.2 atm.
But first, a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher will need to be slightly modified.
The main stages of work
First of all, the author needs to make a home-made adapter, which will be wound on a fire extinguisher.
In principle, you can buy a ready-made such adapter in the store.
Then you need a hose for pumping wheels with a tip, which you can buy in a store or remove it from an old purge gun.
Now, while on the road, you can quickly pump flat tires. Although, what is worse than an electric pump (automobile compressor)? The same thing, only safer.
For details on how to use a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher to pump the wheels, see the video.
