    Thanks for explaining that, Death. I don't think I'm gonna try that though...sounds complicated and I'm still figuring out how to inflate my tyres and where do I put the petrol in?.... :confused2

    A couple of simple fittings on the compressor & a petrol reservoir & we can pump those tyres full of petrol in ten seconds flat. :spudbooge
