How to inflate a tyre with a can of WD-40

[ryanisnicer]

sure that was wd40?  looked like ether

[gxc0y8q]

Well that was just to bead the tire

[MrJrakk]

Lol I like how the tire goes flat again before the video is over

[vikskywalker]

u can use any flammable spray even hair spray ;) it works

[BlltPrffAsssn]

We use starting fluid

[cmaszerowski]

WD40 fixes everything, just like beer.

[Mr5Pot]

is this icelandic

[solallein]

That is unbelievably awesome! So awesome I yelled out when it happened and had my wife run over to see it. After which she said, "yea" and walked away...sigh

[papasmurf77941]

After the tire is inflated is there enough air in the tire to hold the weight of the truck?

[sc400575]

@papasmurf77941

No, just enough to stick the tyre to the rim.

It'll need pumping up fast or it'll come back off.

Looks damn cool though doesn't it?!

[Lonnie91a]

Ive done this with lighter fluid. Works quite well. Most tire shops have a portable propane or maybe ether contraption for blowing tires onto rims in a similar fashion. Pretty cool to see it happen.

[sxemola]

No its not a hoax, but once the fuel inside the tire as cooled it causes a vacuum and deflates after a small amount of time.

[WesternMilita]

that sure as fuck is ot WD-40

[littlefry11]

for all you that dont undestand. he used heat to allow the tired to slightly expand and not be stuck in the middle. Then they continue to put air into it after doing this.

[LookItsRiceCake]

Ether, not WD-40...

[bgioni]

this method is used to reseat the tire, it will deflate after a few seconds.

[eidexoxo]

HEI STEFFEN XD JEG ER PÅ YOUTUBE

[elohimhimhim]

work... because is a toyota!!

[LGDxWOLF]

What kind of sorcery is this????!!!!

[elkywallin123]

nice



[Jx1x3]

I'm sorry little lad, I don't mean to rain on your cheerios, but in the states that's called stretched tires for a hella jdm flush, carry on little bambino

[WeaselWJ]

Did you steal this video? I think I've seen it somewhere else...

[trtmntdude]

That was NOT WD-40

[Claeys67]

What about the inner tube? Isn't there supposed to be an inner tube?

[metal69able]

@Claeys67 not on vehicles.they are tubless tires

[Claeys67]

@metal69able OMG of course. Thanks for pointing that out. I feel stupid now (x

[roschlaub]

WD-40 does not ignite like that, it was most likely quickstart or either

[gunbojason]

is it truly a wd 40?

[dylanbrown93]

amazing

[MelbHusTLA]

i know ! cant believe it worked !!

[masterkronixster]

amazing

absolute amazing

[ianspaintpot]

this is a hox

[shamuslauer1]

@ianspaintpot no it aint....its a proven method

[MelbHusTLA]

@ianspaintpot - sorry mate its not a hoax , i was there

[gnamp]

@MelbHusTLA it appears to have retracted shortly afterwards. What was that about?

[Heartjager]

@gnamp Because there is still a burning or flame going on inside the tire trying to suck in/burn air, and when it can't take in air, the tire itself will basically get sucked in to itself as you saw. Thats why you always want to be ready with an air compressor if your using ether to seal the bead.

[tombeals69]

@ianspaintpot

you might think its a hoax because it says the tire was inflated when really, this method doesnt inflate the tire, it just lets it seal on the bead, but the tire itself is still flat and needs to have air put into it

[ihaveairlockers]

Use butane or lighter fluid for best results.

[jamiroxxx]

I need a explication... PLEASE!

[MelbHusTLA]

@jamiroxxx - so the liquified chemical surrounds the tyre rim and b/c its a little flat some of it seeps in , when lit the liquid turns into a gas

[jamiroxxx]

@MelbHusTLA THANKS!!!!

[1990mrcampbell]

@MelbHusTLA no the hot air pumps the tire up



[BWPops1]

@jamiroxxx the only issue with this, is that it does not last very long.

[NAMkiller]

@BWPops1 It lasts technically forever. Why wouldn't it last long, as long as the seal is complete?

[mozer30]

@NAMkiller the spray ignition is used to rapidly heat the air inside the tyre forcing it onto the rim,hot air expands right? as soon as the air cools back down the tyre will deflate and loose its seal.If this method is used to set a tyre on a rim it needs to be inflated further to prevent the above from happening

[NAMkiller]

@mozer30 I know, my point was that if you make sure that you inflate it fully (after the cooling of the air inside), it will stay inflated. It seemed as if the person that I replied to was thinking that the tyre will slowly deflate over time or something of the sort.

[faziljaved]

@mozer30 it does not heat the air inside the tire. the liquid burns and quckly converts into gas which fills the tire.

[iFastforwrd]

@jamiroxxx hot air expands pushing the tire out. it basically creates a vacuum..

[nvm1ws]

holy shit it worked

[snower5554]

my dad used to do that with starting fluid it works better

[tpvalley]

the oil will make tyre decompose and break down!!!! doh!

[abclololol]

GALILEO IST SCHEISSE!

[Fiinniinnii]

not bad haha really not bad trick, i really dont knew

[warren8990]

i always saw that done with lighter fluid...

[laws52710000]

you can do the same wit ether and a match or ne type of flammable aerosol but b careful bc u can blow it up 2 lol and it ain't good when that happens

[aldovichromano]

thats awesome, the tire has to be in good condition right? i mean if its flat it doesnt fix it?

[warhawk20034]

mate being of the bead the tyre is dead flat its a tubeless tyre remember but it only holds fora few seconds so u ahve to get air in to it before it pops back off the bead

[EasterAABBCC]

thank you so much i fixed my go kart with that idea

[tpvalley]

@EasterAABBCC

u will have ruined tyre then, oil ruins rubber etc.
