I have several ATV's and like to check the air everyday before riding.

To make this more convinient than getting my 12v pump out and having to hook it up, I was thinking about purchasing a small, handheld Hand Pump that takes Co2 cartridges for propellant. I woulod then go around and top all of the tires off before riding.

My question is, since I run my ATV's tires at 3-5 PSI each, and they rarely go down more than 1-2 PSI at any given time, would I be able to bring them back up to their noraml range with just one cartridge?

How many partially filled ATV tires can you fill with one cartridge?

Thanks!

 

I have found that each of the standard size co2 put about 2 pounds of air in each tire. Hope this helps

 

Ouch! That is not much out of one cartridge.

Anyone else have experience with these?

 

I bought the pump and co2 awhile ago and don't use them anymore because they do not work well. They barely fill your tire up and I hated taking them on the trails with me.

 

A small, clip on type bicycle pump works pretty well. It is made for pressure, not volume - just the opposite of what an ATV needs - but it does work and you don't have to worry about dead batteries or leaked out cylinders.
