How Do You Use A Portable Air Compressor?
Most standard car and truck tires air pressure is around 40 psi. PSI stands for “Pounds Per Square Inch”. Sometimes tires loose air pressure while just in long term parking or storage. Over the road truckers and those on business trips experience this all too often. We normally don’t pay much attention to tire pressure (though we should) unless the vehicle “feels strange” when driving. Tire pressure suddenly becomes top priority when you notice that one of your tires is low or completely flat. So what do you do, dig out that goofy little spare tire and wobbly car jack? Try to limp it on the rim to the service station? Not if you have a portable car air compressor on hand. These units store away easily without taking up much space and can really come in handy in a situation like this. Use a rag, napkin or an on hand beverage to clear away dirt from the wall of the tire so that it’s readable. Find the area that says, for example: 40psi. The numbers on your tires may likely be different.
