construction and working of foot operated air pump mechanism com
Abstract
After the introduction of tubeless tires frequent the instances of flat tires on the roads have reduced by a considerable extent. Most smaller punctures leading to slow air loss are now detected at morning with deflated or low air pressure in tires.Tubeless tire repair facility is still not available at all the places in our country. Most roadside puncture repair shops in smaller towns damage the tires at the time of fixing punctures. I travel frequently and at times i am at places where reliable tubeless puncture repair facility is not available, most of the punctures i encounter in my cars are slow punctures which make the tire go flat in days. Even in the city i am not the kind of person who would call a helpline for a flat, i would rather pump up some air and take my car to nearest puncture repair shop or reach home and change the tire. My Dad bought an inexpensive foot pump for me from Dabwali. The cost was just 500 bucks. The pump has decent quality construction. It does not require as much effort as i always thought a foot pump would require. The air gauge fitted on the pump is not accurate, it shows 20psi when actual tire pressure is 30psi. This pump surely be a boon for offroaders who reduce air pressure for off-roading applications like sand driving but they need to pump up the air again before they hit the road.There are a lot of inexpensive Electric air pumps available at most accessory shops, but i doubt their reliability. A mechanical foot operated pump requires some effort but at least its reliable, it matters most for me.
