Wow, I'd love to see that in a video clip. I suppose learning how much propane to squirt in the tire is like learning how hard to pull on a wrench while tightening a bolt. You have to strip a few to learn.
Norm S/V Bandersnatch Lying Julington Creek 30 07.695N 081 38.484W Well you could try the trick loggers use on the flat tires on their skidders. You know the big 4 - 6 foot diameter tires. You squirt some propane or butane in through the inflator valve. Then toss a lit match at the leaks coming out past the bead. Ther isn't enough propane to do any real damage but the explosion delivers enough gasses so fast the tire expands rapidly. Caution! Best done with wheel removed from vehicle. Also best done outdoors. <VBG> In winter time its often the only way to handle flat skidder tires that have sat overnight at minus 20 or lower. I have seen this work a dozen times after a shop compressor failed to inflate the tier and seat the bead on the rim.
