@lifeline5288 It works by rapid expansion of hot gas but once the hot gas cools it will you're back to sqaure one. It does not work.

@gammarotor probably about 40 psi but when it cools down it makes a vaacum so the best is to quickly remove the valve and put an air compressor to fill the tire as quickly as possible
-
What pressure does it get up to?
-
@AANate007 the explosion of ether expands the tire enough to set the bead. once you have done that you need to quickly get air too it. oh n me n my dads done that before on a semi tire :):)
-

-

Total radness dudes :) .
