Tire loading adapter?

   / Tire loading adapter? #11  
Well someone feels my pain! I had the part num and all, from old posts here, go into TSC, they look at me like I had buggars on my face? That was why I was figuring I could get it at Napa, they have a huge warehouse here, I just can't get them to find it either? Thanks For the help. If I can't find the Napa num, I will wait a week or so and try TSC again.

Thanks Bob


THE TSC MODEL IS CRAP! (Made by Slime, I think)

I purchased the adapter a few months ago from TSC. Finally got around to using it this weekend. Here is what I went through to get it to work.
  1. The "hose end" threads were cut for a 3/4" NPT pipe fitting NOT a standard garden hose fitting. :confused:
  2. I tried to return it for a new one at TSC (1/2 hour car ride, one way) but they did not have any in stock. :mad: So I decided to try to make the one I had work.
  3. Back in the shop, I dis-assembled the adapter and replaced the "hose end" with an old garden hose end splice kit. ;)
  4. Next problem was that the adapter for the valve end would not make a tight seal. The little adapter piece was cut too long and the threads bottom out before compressing the seal at the bottom.:confused: Thus causing it to leak leak all over.
  5. I was able to stuff a couple extra o-rings in the bottom of the adapter and get an OK seal but it still leaked a little.
Glad that ordeal is over. Now my tires are finally filled.:D No thanks to TSC and their lousy products and horrible inventory practices.

Just curious what you filled your tires with? Also how did you go about transferring the fluid from a bucket to the tire?

If you're asking me:

I loaded 22 gallons of -20* rated WWF into each tire using this:

I use an adapter I got from Gemplers with a short piece of garden hose and an old boat bilge pump bolted to a piece of scrap metal sitting in the bottom of a 5 gal pail. Work slick. Fast and easy!!
