Title: Quickie...
Post by: Doobreydog on February 05, 2007, 10:42:24: Just a quick one....Just thinking of trying to inflate tyre back onto rim using lighter gas method as shown on top gear a couple of years ago...

Tyres nearly knackered anyway so just thinking why not...

Dont want to blow the neighbours windows out or wreck myself in process...Questions

Was it lighter gas or fluid???

Anyone tried it before...did they live to tell tale.

Whats the likelyhood of wrecking tyre in process.

Cheers

It can't be that dangerous :? :lol: :wink: . I just remember the guy on Top Gear standing well back when he lit it, using the aerosol and lighter flamethrower technique. I'd have a bucket of water ready just in case too.

Post by: Snooky on February 05, 2007, 13:09:58: I thought it was lighter fluid, if gas i thought it would disipate too quickly?

Post by: Pete on February 05, 2007, 13:12:01: It's fluid not gas.
Done it once, and it certainly makes a bang, but it did work.

Post by: V8MoneyPit on February 05, 2007, 16:33:44: Ahem.... if I remember correctly, they only used a very small quantity of lighter fluid...... not a 15 second burst :shock: :shock: Are you still with a full quota of eyebrows??? :lol:

Post by: Range Rover Blues on February 05, 2007, 18:13:43: That last one has developed a remote firing method that looks more dangerous than inflating a tyre with exploding gas.

Is this relating to getting tyres back on the rim or lighting a barbeque? :?

Post by: ben_haynes on February 06, 2007, 01:28:03: yes it is lighter Gas and i have done it a few times :twisted:

but shave your eyebrows off first or you will loose them as a mate of mine found out :lol: and wear a hat and jacket of some sort :oops: (lost my arm hairs lots of times)

do it with no one watching as you will always get some T***ER saying you should not have done that or calling the police.
