Lee, what I meant is that inside my warm basement I can set the compressor to the desired output such as 35 psi. On cold rainy or snowy I had to fumble with the valve stem checking pressure, adding air then rechecking the pressure. I want to try setting the compressor then just using the air hose it should bring the tires up to the correct psi without checking and rechecking out in the cold. As far as putting coins in the tire air units at the gas stations that is becoming the standard. The first station in my area started it was to cover the replacement price of the air hose. Some of his air hoses developed legs and others were destroyed. He since removed the outside public available air system

Our new van lets you know when the tire pressure is low. but not in which tire so this house needs to buy a guage also. Now. you folks have brought up another thing which I did not know. I thought if you set the pressure at , for instance a gas station tire pump that if it is set for 35 then you could not get any more than 35 pounds out of it. so I'm thinking that isn't right. My kids tell me most places around here you need to drop a quarter in the slot to activate the air pumps. is that the norm around the world? one more thing years ago I always thought the best readings for a tire guage came from using an expensive mechinics guage. the ones with the wire ring on them sold by. oops having a Senior moment. well the ones who sell tools to local garages. However I am now rethinking that too. Lee -- I know you think you thought you knew what you thought I said, but I'm not sure you understood what you thought I meant.
